Now that the bailout bill has been signed and the new players are being hired to make this plan work, my question is, will they be paid the obscene salaries that were enjoyed in the past? If the American taxpayers are now their employers, and I am one of them, I want to see exactly what they are being offered in the way of salary. ...more

I would like to recommend Susan Benton to be re-elected as sheriff of Highlands County. While in office she has brought her department into the 21st century. She has made officers more accessible to the public and she is intelligent and articulate. It's refreshing to have a sheriff who isn't a "good old boy," no pun intended. ...more

What has happened to our country? I couldn't imagine things getting this bad to where our kids would have to pay to be involved in school sports.

I read with interest the article by James J. Dean regarding the channel between Little Lake Jackson and Lake Jackson. Also, the article about the canal cleanup at Lake Istokpoga. Both of our local newspapers should interview residents of Erin Park, who live on the three canals to Little Lake Jackson, and also take pictures of the three canals, as two of them are literally "seas of grass." We have little water in the middle canal and in the past few weeks, a lot of the fish have died and we've gotten flocks of buzzards on the bank feeding on the dead fish. We haven't had our boats or pontoons out on either lake for almost two years. A lot of the boats and pontoons are sitting high and dry. It would cost each owner around $600 to have a crane come in and remove them. We have contacted local county officials several times, but all we get are words! Something needs to be done. ...more
