The Importance of Memorial Day
Guest Column from Representative Richard Adams
Pictures of barbeques, picnics and days spent out in the sun come to
mind as we think about the day that kicks off the summer months every
year: Memorial Day. On this day, we often take part in our
favorite summertime activities, getting together with our families and
communities to ring in the new season of relaxation and beautiful
weather. These are some of my favorite thing to do on Memorial
Day as well, but the holiday holds far more significance to me than
summer festivities. The story of Memorial Day begins in the 1860s, when
U.S. civilians were looking for a way to... Read More. See More Opinion.

Rhoades on the SB5 Poll
Jeff Bell, a Dayton Business Journal contributor, says that half of
Ohio Voters disapprove of the way Gov. Kasich is handling things.
Not much of a surprise! The fury that he has stirred over SB 5
has brought people together from both sides of the aisle as well as
management and labor. Kasich was able to buffalo a lot of people
into believing that there was a problem without ever giving anyone a
shred of evidence that it... Read More. See More Opinion.

Boots on the ground,
well, sort of
By Audrey Hudson
“Boots on the ground”-that’s what President Barack Obama says is
protecting our southern border-20,000 border patrol agents, 40,000
boots on the ground. He said it last week during a speech in El Paso,
Tex., and a new investigation by HUMAN EVENTS concurs. Well, the boots

Darke
County Commissioners meetings from last week have been posted. Rhoades
is at it again on SB5… there are many perspectives on the controversial
legislation. He finds them. Also, State Rep. Jim Buchy said recently
that the SB5 Repeal probably will be on the ballot this fall. If we
voted now it would pass… but in November it will fail. That’s a quote.
