Letters

In response to Linda Headrick’s letter, “Reader mad about MDA fundraiser,” let me assure you that your hard-earned money did not go to waste. MDA is the world’s leading nonprofit health agency dedicated to finding treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy, ALS and more than 40 neuromuscular diseases.

During the past 12 years, it has been my good fortune to have served on the Lancaster County school board. I can honestly say that the members with whom I have served were and are totally dedicated to the well-being of the young people of Lancaster County.
The accomplishments have been many – even though the circumstances under which we worked were, at times, difficult. The school administration, on all levels, has always offered sound solutions to problems and concerns that needed to be addressed. They deserve to be commended for their professionalism and efforts.

With so many early voters, I really wonder if voters in District 45 know the issues each candidate is running on.
Brandon Newton seems head and tails over Corin Buskey. He took the time to answer the newspaper’s background questionnaire, which tells us a lot about the candidates.
We know nothing about Buskey, other than she’s worked 17 years in corporate America.
Has she really tried to find out what District 45 wants? No one in our subdivision seems to know anything about her.

I hate to be the only dissenting view on this recreation bond, but I don’t know what we need an environmental education center for.
Most people are aware of pollution, their environment, and how they can be better patrons of those by being less – pardon the word – slobs.
Do we need a center, costing who knows what, just to get out information that’s already out there? Just go to the web. You’ll find plenty on how you can do a better job, and how to protect our environment.
