Am I the only person who is a little skeptical about the potential change for our local schools as far as an early dismissal time for students once a week. The board indicates that this will be beneficial for the students in some way. They may be right but at first blush I find it hard to believe that less classroom time equals a better education. I need some more convincing….how about you?
Monday brings another council meeting where the subject of water in the streets of Oak Ridge will certainly be discussed. I hope we have a good discussion and make some headway for a problem that has been going on for far too long. If you are one of the affected ones please bring a solution you think will work…and don’t forget to figure in the costs as well as how it will/should be paid for.
Former Speaker of the House, Denny Hastert (Illinois’s own) made the papers this week because it was shown that he has spent close to a millions dollars of taxpayers money on his office and staff in Yorkville. This while winding down from his government job and at the same time being a lobbyist (paid) for Turkey and Luxembourg. Does this seem wrong to you as well?
Lets not forget to get our hankies out for former Governor Ryan who is asking for an early release from prison due to his wife’s lung illness. I hope President Obama thinks about the investigation that the then Governor stopped into the deaths of those six children who may have died due to bribes in the license scandal before he decides.
And finally don’t forget to look at the billboard on Rt 251 as you go north from the mall. I think most of us would probably say yes at this point…
Love to hear your thoughts…..
