Bills add up

AN ANSWER to "Let seniors pay": Take $778 a month. Out of this you pay $164 a month for extra health insurance, $125 a month for gas and electric, $30 or more for water and trash, $29 for phone, $25 for car gas so you can go to the doctor, get groceries and go to church. Put money back each month for property tax which is $495 a year, insurance on the house $395 a year, insurance on the car $325 a year so you put back a at least $100 a month for that. And if you have insurance and Medicare that doesn't pay for all of your medicine, you shell out another $100 a month. By the way, we would like to eat.

Hitting home

DAVID LIMBAUGH, you are right. I don't believe you. I wonder how you would feel if it was your child or grandchild who was shot and killed by a handgun.

IT WOULD be really nice if the city would come up here just past the levee at First and Main streets and cut the weeds that are almost head high to a 6-foot person. The city is taking over these lots where they tore these houses down. We would like to see the weeds mowed. Don't take my word for it. Take a look.
