Peddens Encourage Votes for Marion and Biden

Dear Editor,
It’s unbelievable how the Republicans – at the national and state level – are trying to rewrite history when it comes to how they have handled the COVID-19 situation. If you look at almost any other country you can see it didn’t have to be this way. The United States is becoming the laughing stock of the world.

LaBarre Grateful for Community Participation

Dear Editor,
First I gratefully thank everyone who came to participate and attend the meeting on Thursday. When dilemmas about citizen action occur, we need to get as much public input as possible. A conservative estimate would be about 50 people attending and at least a dozen but probably not more than 20 voicing their opinion, some of whom were not Village citizens. This brings up a very important point.
