As I write this I am sitting in California on vacation and wondering what has happened to the compassion of my fellow citizens.
On Saturday, July 24, my grandson was walking downtown in Anderson in the general area of Rax’s and was struck with sudden stomach pain strong enough that it doubled him over and put him on the ground. Now, I realize that Anderson is not busy on Saturday around noon, but come on now, it isn’t completely dead traffic wise.
Thank God he was still able to dial his cell phone and call his family for help. He had to have surgery Saturday afternoon and will be all right.
But Anderson, as a city, we have invited thousands of people from around the state to our city in the next two to three weeks. Can we try to look out for each other and our guests in our city and remember the stories from the Bible? We aren’t Los Angeles, New York or Chicago that see people lying in their streets all the time; this is Anderson, Indiana.

Columnist Maureen Hayden asked, “Why did 3 million Hoosiers choose not to vote?” She gave a few reasons but I can think of another one.

Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance
I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.

Letter: Let’s work through the problems
On May 14 I attended the county council meeting in hopes that I could understand what is happening in the legislative branch of our Madison County government. What I saw was politics at its worst and I cannot applaud either party.

Letter: Taxpayers should thank the ‘few’
Are those who worry about the loss of the wheel tax concerned about the roads or about their jobs? Most of them could care less about people’s needs.
