Sound Off for June 8, 2017

Let's be honest. How many people over the age of 65 if asked a couple weeks ago would say that Ariana Grande was something from Starbucks?

Protecting public safety

The Columbus Police Dept. is working to improve public safety with the distracted driver tickets. Keep up the good work. Shame to those who text, email and apply makeup while driving.
