Letter: More than a few support 3-lane
Apr 6, 2017
To the editor:
I attended the Lake City City Council meeting Monday night and watched and listened to the discussion on financing the potential three lane reconstruction of Highway 61.
It was interesting to hear council members Waltman and McGrath continue to ask the same questions and make the...
Letter: Let council know your position on Hwy. 61
Apr 6, 2017
To the editor:
I’m sure you are all aware that the vote for what road we want will be next Monday night.
Whether you are for two lanes with center turning lanes or you want what we have, a nice open four lane, you should let your mayor and all six City Council members know what you want and why....
Letter: Focus on issues, not people
Apr 6, 2017
To the editor:
I found last week’s letter to the editor written by Dan Coyle quite interesting.
He began by quoting Franklin Roosevelt: “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.”
Dan appeared to be speaking out of both sides of his mouth. First by criticizing Tom Heffernan about what he...
Letter: When it comes to Hwy. 61 info, consider the source
Mar 29, 2017
To the editor:
President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous statement, “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!” seems to be very applicable to some people and their comments about the 2020 Highway 61 project.
In his most recent letter to the editor, all Tom Heffernan did was encourage fear. In...

Letter: Three lanes, one wise investment
Mar 29, 2017
To the editor:
My wife and I own both residential and commercial property in Lake City. Having spent the last 40 years helping to lead a company that engaged change, I fully understand that change can be difficult to accept at times. Without change though, we would not have become the leader/...
Letter: Did (mis)management lead to Florence Township write-ins?
Mar 29, 2017
To the editor:
I wonder if the Florence Town Board management history had a lot to do with the write-in vote for a new supervisor.
Some examples:
The town board initiated a legal case to register shoreline and they kept it all a secret.
A taxpayer couldn’t get information, so they counter-sued....
Letter: Three-lane idea is scary, insane
Mar 22, 2017
To the editor:
Citizens of Lake City beware, there is a monster lurking around us. The monster is the idea of reducing our four-lane highway to a 1920s two-lane Model T road with a center turn lane at a cost to Lake City residents of about $2 million.
Yes, that’s $2 million. With about 2,500...
EDA: Child care is a community need
Mar 22, 2017
The need for child care is a recognized issue across the state and affects the ability of our businesses in Lake City to recruit and retain workers.
I have recently done some research into child care in our community and the conclusion is clear: we have a significant need for additional child care...
Rep. Haley: Worker shortage must be addressed
Mar 16, 2017
It has been a very productive first few months of the 2017 legislative session. With the news of an increased budget surplus, now totaling $1.65 billion, the Speaker of the House and committee chairs have begun to craft the budget. In addition to continued work on health insurance reform, we are...
