| FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28,
2012 |
Looks
like a nerve was hit with the Commissioners-Lucas issue, at least on
County News Online. We registered the highest number of “hits” since we
went online with Bob Rhoades’ column, followed by Melody Lucas. I was
asked today if it will go away. I doubt it. Should it go away? That’s
up to you, the taxpayer. Also in News: Supreme Court Arguments begin on Obamacare.
Events: Ag Breakfast Meeting April 5.
Blogs: The Socialist Apprentice.
Obituaries: John Lewis Leis, Caroline Elizabeth Rolfe, Dale A. Tester. For
