Sound Off for November 9, 2017

That doesn’t really work for me

If I have to carry a gun to attend a service in honor of the Prince of Peace, I believe I will abstain.

A snapshot of cultural absurdity

Here’s a good one. On the Judge Mathis show, a mother was being sued for not paying the cell phone bill for her 5-year-old. Five-year-old? Really?

Grateful family, nation

My father was a World War II veteran. This will be our first Veterans Day without him. Thank you, Dad.

Fiscal policy question

Just wondering ... I'm sure you have as well: How much in Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) has the MCSD authorized/taken so far? Has the city done so as well?
