unprecedented murder of our most innocent. I hope so. In the meantime,
we have some “good stuff” at the local level. Enjoy. Also in News:
Jobs Ohio program includes “raids” of other states; ‘Belly up to the
bar,’ governor tells local government leaders; and Kent Conrad: Short
term debt hikes may be needed. Community: Amazing Examples of Community Spirit; and Edison Offers Help with Job Searches and Career Direction.
