Letters to the Editor

It was great to read Scott Miller’s comments about the RAISE grant application to widen Kidron Road.

Let me ask you if you are the Chairman of the Board of a company would you ask questions to why your CEO suddenly resigned along with your top management? Chairman Ryan Sullivan was asked by a concerned citizen at the June 17th East Wayne Board meeting and his answer was “he had no idea…

Our community has recently experienced a major loss in our safety services. Recently, all three chiefs of the East Wayne Fire District resigned, taking with them, a vast wealth of knowledge. These three men were brilliant in their craft and dedicated to their community. Their resignation has left a huge void. I do not want…
