  • City should own up to mistakes that ended in baby’s death

    To the editor:
    I want to let people know how I feel about the mayor and the City of Lawrenceburg officials.
    I feel they are all incompetent to even have jobs where it concerns people’s lives. The police force has “Serve and Protect” on its cruisers, but it doesn’t seem that applies to everybody who lives in Anderson County.

  • LETTER: Maybe Donald Duck would do a better job

    To the editor:
    I just got the time to sit down to enjoy reading The Anderson News, one of my favorite things to do.
    My first thought was that this is a very good day.
    As I looked down the first page, there is Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway introducing an ordinance. Oh, gee wiz, what now.
    As I said, it did start out to be a very good day.
    What the heck is wrong with you people? Get a life or a new job.

  • LETTER: Paper ‘exhibits journalistic professionalism’

    To the editor:
    This letter is an opinion based upon reading Ben Carlson’s editorial in last week’s paper.
    Apparently, as Ben opines, there are a few unhappy, non-reading, non-subscriber types about.

  • LETTER: Baby-shaking story gave needed information

    To the editor:
    You and Judge [Charles] Hickman are to be commended for the Jan. 26 story about [Derek] Hartley’s baby-shaking offense.
    As your article indicated, Mr. Hartley was apparently ignorant about the effects of shaking a baby, as are most people who commit this offense.

  • LETTER: Chesser family says thanks

    To the editor:
    The family of Tony L. Chesser would like to thank everyone who donated, volunteered, attended or helped in any way with the [recent] benefit.

  • LETTER: Teach our youth about respect, not selfishness

    To the editor:
    It’s unfortunate that we as a country have to endure so much as a free republic, referencing the lives taken (young and old) in Arizona from a mad man. When reflecting back to our forefathers, founders and ancestors — they engaged in battle, waging war for our freedom today. We knew their cause, their struggles — what be ours? We have become so divisive, and we reside in the “United” States.

  • LETTER: Lousy snow removal prompts change in vote

    To the editor:
    My family has lived in rural Anderson County for years. Never have we had a problem with our county roads like we have had this winter.
    On several occasions, my neighbors and I have called the county road department to complain about the condition of our roads, and every time we get the same answer: “We will get to it,” but it never happens.
    It has us all wondering where our tax dollars are going because they are not going toward our roads being taken care of.

  • LETTER: State crew doing great job with snow removal

    To the editor:
    I just had to write to give accolades where accolades are due.
    The state highway department does a terrific job.
    On my way to work on Jan. 11, just after the snow fell, I noticed that US 127 Bypass in Anderson County was for the most part clear. There were salt trucks everywhere. Once I went over the Anderson/Franklin line it was the difference between night and day. Franklin County roads were terrible.

  • LETTER: Congress’ priorities remain out of whack

    To the editor:
    Unlike the six senseless killings in Tucson, Ariz., the senseless killings in Afghanistan get slight to no attention in the national discourse.
    Yet, 1,454 American soldiers have been killed in that 10-year war, and 499 of them were killed in 2010. Already, nine have been killed in 2011.

  • LETTER: Nothing from nothing still equals nothing

    To the editor:

    Congressman Ben Chandler’s reaction to the shooting of a US representative is that it may cause him to make fewer public appearances.

    Adding up his public showings last term, I’m wondering: How can he make fewer appearances than none?
