Thank you to all the fire departments in Madison County and surrounding areas for the excellent work they do for our community.
It was evident as they worked in collaboration to put out a large field fire on Saturday, Nov. 14, as it threatened many unharvested acres as well as nearby homes, that we have the best firefighters around and that we are well protected from devastating fires. Within a very short period of time after reports were made to the Chesterfield/Union Township Fire Department, there was a collaboration of at least eight fire departments on the scene.
Thank you to Salem Township, Pipe Creek Township, Lapel, Frankton, Richland Township, Adams Township and Alexandria Fire Departments for assisting Chesterfield in containing the fire. Not only do our firemen have excellent skills, they are caring individuals as well. This is evident in their responses to the citizens they serve before, during, and after fires. The provision of the Fire Rescue House by another collaborative effort led by Skip Ockomon and the Anderson Fire Department provides much evidence to that fact. Thank you, fire departments, for being a wonderful asset for Madison County and a job well done.
Stephanie and Mike Moran

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Letter: Economy putting people in the gutters
We are now getting the results of putting people in the gutters. We need to take a second look at our government and its policies. It’s not working.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.
