Bill 5, and I sincerely appreciate your participation in the process.

FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2011

An historic event took place at Greenville High School Saturday night.
Thirty-seven students from four Division 3 Key Clubs held a Box City
event to make the public aware of the plight of the homeless. It’s a
fun, but sobering event and you’ll see the story soon in local and
regional media. Watch for it on County News Online. Pictured are Key
Club Officers and Tribe Leaders getting their instructions for the
evening. Also in News: Govs face budget blowback; and Boehner says no agreement on budget stalemate. Events: Boehner Open Door Schedule. Blogs: On Ethanol, Conservatives Should Stand With Tom Coburn; and On Intervention and Opposition to the Libyan Engagement. For
