2012 - A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Response to John Q. Taxpayer
Dear Mr. Taxpayer, Thank you for the letter that you sent to County

seems to be on the back burners in Columbus. We are told there
will be a solution, but what will that be? At this time, nobody knows,
and we don’t want to wait until the last minute to be told it is our
problem. Therefore, we have decided to take a proactive stance
and try to alleviate the problem without the help of Columbus, but with
the help of the Darke County citizens. You are correct sir... Read

| FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16,
2012 |
The
last of the responses to CNO Primary questionnaires – for Darke County
Commissioner – is posted today. There is one from incumbent Diane
Delaplane. No completed questionnaire was received from challenger
Aaron Ward. Mike Stegall’s response to Monday’s opinion has been
postponed until Friday, as his immediate response to John Q. Taxpayer
was more appropriate for today’s post. Also in News: Thousands of jobs expected for skilled, educated. Sports: Arcanum bows out to Miami East. Community: Darke T.E.A. Patriots Town Hall Meeting. Blogs: Dependence on Government at All-Time High. Obituaries: Lois Irene (Uncapher) Adams. For
