LETTER: Romney is the cure for what ails our health care
Recently we’ve heard about Obamacare and the war on women. We’ve focused on Sandra Fluke’s desire for cheaper and more available birth control. We’ve heard about 10,000 annual deaths to gun violence and the 40,000 lost annually to breast cancer. It’s everywhere. We’ve heard nothing about the 50,000 lost annually […]
LETTER: A few reasons not to vote for Obama
If you want to vote yourself out of a job, vote for Obama. This election is not about how many free condoms you get each week or about who’s paying Big Bird’s salary. It’s about meat-and-potato and kitchen-table issues. Gasoline has doubled during the Obama years and it’s a darn […]
LETTER: National debt is a disgrace to the ‘Greatest Generation’
What a Shame! My parents grew up during the U.S. Great Depression. I remember their stories of their delight getting only an orange on Christmas morning and the delectable delight, duck blood soup for supper. Nothing was wasted. Both of my parents were WWII veterans and part of “The Greatest […]

In My Opinion: Why WSD rates have soared 38 percent
By Dan Dickinson Candidate Town of Waterford Sanitary District No. 1 By rule, only the Board President can set the meeting agenda, it gives the Board President awesome power to make things happen, or to prevent them from happening. Bill Gerard has been commissioner for three years, serving his […]
In My Opinion: Retain Gerard on the WSD Board
By Bill Gerard Board President Town of Waterford Sanitary District No. 1 You elected me as your commissioner in 2009. I promised to do whatever I could to get rid of the corruption in our local government. The Racine County D.A. has hundreds of pages of documentation waiting to be […]
Letter: Recall is a travesty of Democratic process
I was motivated to write when I read an editorial regarding the recall election. I too believe that Gov. Scott Walker was a bit too zealous in getting Wisconsin out of debt and perhaps he was naive that he could do so given his 2010 election in which he promised […]
