Shepherd Bond Levy begs questions
Dear Editor, I’m trying to Understand the Shepherd School Bond. When I don’t understand something, I try to learn as much as I can about it. The Board of Trustee meetings I have attended have not included any discussion to reduce the nature and extent of the Bond. The Committee of local folks and teacher […]

Opinions are like armpits
Dear Editor, It has been some time now that I have wanted to weigh in on the “Outdoors” issue. However, I had trouble putting my finger on what was bothering me. Mr. Jose Bustos’ s letter in the January 18, 2019 issue helped clarify for me. As a side note, our entire family would like […]

When I sat down to point out the many falsehoods and lies by McCabe as well as Pelley, there were so many, I didn’t know where to start. So I will broach another malfeasance of our FBI,DOJ and […]

I have always felt that part of the reason that Marx wrote this letter is because of Lincoln referring to the government of the United States as being “of the people and by […]
Get back to education, less cosmetics
Dear Editor, My hat goes off to Vic Feuerstein and his editorial of February 15, 2019. The details were right on about the proposed bond for the Shepherd Schools. This is the first time I have heard, in detail, what it is like to be a tax payer in Shepherd.
