approval in November for the countywide offices of Juvenile Probate... Read

Response: Owning up to a wrong or two
By Mike Stegall
Mr. Robinson, sorry it has taken me a while to respond to you, but we
have had a lot of stuff going on in the commissioner’s office the last
week or so, and I am just now catching up with you. In response to your
and Bob Rhoades question on the MARCS system, yes we did discuss it.

Tri-Village survives Bulldogs scare
By George Starks
TROY- “It wasn’t pretty. Not the way we scripted it,” said Tri-Village
coach Josh Sagester after the Patriots 60-40 victory over Yellow
Springs Wednesday. Juniors Tyler Cook and Kyle Pipenger pumped in 19

GREENVILLE'S RENEWAL LEVY
|
Confusion acknowledged, but don’t take it out on the District
By Bob Robinson
We’ve had a ton of traffic about Greenville’s Renewal Levy in the last
72 hours. People are concerned (read “angry”) over what they perceive
as misleading information because the millage has increased. Common
sense and logic tell us that should be a replacement. In my humble

regulations is logical or... Read

How Santorum Fails Constitution 101
by Katie Kieffer
I think Sen. Rick Santorum would make a great community organizer.
Unfortunately, we are trying to remove, not re-elect, a community
organizer in the White House. Both Santorum and President Obama have a
track record of ignoring the Constitution and implementing their
personal ideologies at the federal level. By incessantly talking about
his... Read

| FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS FRIDAY, MARCH 2,
2012 |
This
will be the last posting with local editorial copy on Tuesday’s Primary
until the reports are in. It was a tradition I inherited and observed
as Advocate editor; and one that is continued at County News Online.
You have your information. It’s all over but the shouting. There’s only
one thing left to do to wrap up another presidential primary with local
contests. Vote on March 6. Also in News: Man accused of sex with 13-year-old; Dayton gas prices creep toward $4 mark. Sports: NFL to start on unusual day. Letters: Forte - No on Issue 1. Blogs: Time to end caucuses for President. For
