Teed off

This is in response to your response to a call complaining about the rate increases by BMU. Your statement that the increase is dictated by bond covenants is halfway correct. What you didn't tell the public is that our Board of Municipal Utilities wasted a million dollars on the purchase of the Bootheel Golf Course. This is why they don't have adequate funds in the reserves to cover the bond covenant.

Your estimate of the Bootheel Golf Course is halfway correct.

Trump, Main and banners

I'm speaking out about the person who called in and said Trump won't make it. I think they are very wrong. He will make it and he will not be impeached in the first two years like the person said. He knows what he is talking about. I believe they are very wrong. To the person who called in and wanted Main Street to be called Martin Luther King Boulevard, it should not be done. Main Street should be left Main Street and not be changed. Leave it alone. The other thing is what is all this stuff that we have to see and the bottom of our TV screens all the time? When I grew up, we never had to see all these things at the bottom of the screen about all these TV shows, all this junk. Now that's all we say. I think it's very trashy, plus all the commercials. There are so many things I don't want my grandchildren to see. I am ashamed of the commercials, even as an adult. They should never be aired on TV. I've spoken out by the way I feel. Thank you very much and God bless.
