Do you think it would be possible for the city to furnish the transportation and the home owners furnish the labor to rid the town of all the rubbish in the yards and on the front porches?

Like most towns do and I have lived in several that have adopted this practice, they have a trash pick up day a couple times a year and you are allowed to put anything at the curb to be disposed of on these designated days.

This would work for those who do not have the money to dispose of the trash they have accumulated over the years.

The town could even ask the churches to ask the men and women of their congregations to help the elderly and disabled.

I see that this would give the town a chance to pull together and once again have a town they all can be proud of.

Sometimes folks assume that because a politician is a Republican, he is a solid supporter of the Second Amendment.

I hope you don’t make that mistake.

You see, you and I are only one or two votes shy of losing our right to keep and bear arms in the U.S. Senate.

We have the most anti-gun administration in nearly 20 years. The last time such a rabid anti-gunner was in charge in Washington, we got the Brady Bill, a ban on an entire class of

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over
Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the Occidental College. Released today, in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign
students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.
 

To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.

This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of
Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was
first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US
citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm
at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president.
Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the
results of their investigation of Obama's

Jon it is apparent that Councilman Gary Goodwin is not performing the duties as councilman. I understand that he has not attended a council meeting this year and has not been a resident of his district for several years and also is now actually living in Vincennes.

Jon I have listed below laws that require a council person to live within his district and to perform his duties all of which Councilman Goodwin is not.
At the next council meeting I am requesting that you ask the council to remove him for his seat and contact the Knox County Republican party to replace him.

City-county legislative body; expulsion of member; declaration of vacancy; rules
     Sec. 4. The city-county legislative body may:
        (1) expel any member for violation of an official duty;
        (2) declare the seat of any member vacant if he is unable to perform the duties of his office; and
        (3) adopt its own rules to govern proceedings under this subsection.
However, a two-thirds (2/3) vote is required to expel a member or vacate his seat.
As added by Acts 1980, P.L.212, SEC.2.

        (1) dies, resigns, or is removed from office;
        (2) ceases to be a resident of the county or district from which the member was elected;
