complexities of our modern society. What does it take for some of the
major Internet websites to go black, and lose money, for a day of
protest? The answer is SOPA and PIPA. The Stop Online Piracy Act which
is now pending in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Protect
Intellectual Property Act, which is a... Read More. More Opinion.

THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS MONDAY, JANUARY 23,
2012 |
While
I have sometimes disagreed with decisions made by our County
Commissioners, I happily give them credit for the job they and elected
Department Heads have done keeping local spending under control; and
for their support of our Economic Development Department (ie Marc,
Melanie and their bosses at P4P). Our county is in better shape than
most. Thanks, folks. Your efforts are appreciated. Also in News: Kasich will deliver State of State Address at Steubenville’s Wells Academy; & Is Mitt Romney really a job creator?
