I just wanted to share with everyone what a delight it is to be held prisoner on my street for the entire day in order for these cyclists to completely take over the road system.  

Heck, my farm hand was even told by OCPD that we can’t move our hay equipment until this grand party is over.  

I just can’t get enough of this.

After reading our Mayor, Bill Lammelein's latest flippant remark about the tax payer's money, I am no longer a supporter.  

I had really hoped to see some positive growth after our last somewhat shady mayor, but now, I am seeing a pompous attitude with regard to Mr. Lammelein's guidance, as well as a lazy, and incompetent staff in charge.

The payroll deductions with the city employee's insurance was pure negligence!  Where is the follow through and check and balance system?  

To the editor:

The La Grange City Council on Monday, Aug. 8, passed a 1 percent compensation tax. According to the ordinance, 100 percent of the funds collected through the tax will be used to pay the city’s bond obligation on Oldham Reserve business park.

Oldham Reserve is a 1,000-acre business development located off of Exit 22 on Interstate 71. It is home to The Rawlings Company, an 8OO-person operation; the average salary there is $63,000. From an economic development and spin-off perspective, this is equivalent to two or three medium-sized businesses.

To the editor:

It was with some concern that I learned last week that my cancellation notice for the 2013 Annual Veterans Recognition Event had not been printed by The Oldham Era this past week or the week before.

For several reasons, it was necessary for me to cancel this year’s event, and the newspaper had promised to publish the notice to that effect. It was my goal to inform readers that, after seven years of hosting this event on the second Thursday in August, I am unable this year to hold it.
