Once again North Carolina Legislators are using the excuse of saving money to, in my opinion, hide public notices from you and I, the public!
Senate Bill 287 recently passed which will allow government agencies in Mecklenburg, Guilford, and most of Wake County to print legal ads on their own websites instead of being required to publish them in local newspapers. And yes –– our Senator, Buck Newton, voted yes to 3 readings of this Bill!
It’s Blooming Festival time!
For me, the Blooming Festival means I get to discover how out of shape I am! Walking around Downtown Nashville for hours at a time is a good workout.
This year, I get to add two little people to the mix so that should give me an even better workout!
Let’s just get this out of the way upfront — the national attack on guns, gun owners and law abiding citizens has gone right up to the line of reason and then pole vaulted across with a jetpack.
There was no better example of this than the embarrassing and still not completely corrected episode right here in North Carolina, less than an hour away, at Princeton High School.

Dear Editor,
As a parent of a teenager, I have noticed a disturbing trend that has evolved in our country and seems to have taken our young people as hostage. It is called “Social Media.” I’m sure everyone knows about this concept and probably uses it. We as parents are probably aware of the most notable one; Facebook.

Dear Editor:
I am concerned as a Spring Hope Town Commissioner if the Town Board, Town manager and police chief did enough to help Mr. Mills with the drug activity on South Ash Street.
The problem has been there for years; maybe if all of us had done a little more, a 52-year-old business wouldn’t be forced to close down.
