LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Society says thanks

To the editor: Jay County Historical Society has been able to update the technology and audio-visual equipment at its museum thanks to a grant of $14,441 provided by the Indiana Historical Society and made possible by Lilly Endowment Inc.

Rethink education bill, expansion

To the editor: I have two items to discuss today. One involves the Indiana legislature’s attempt to spend tax money on private schools and the other involves the stone quarry.

Location is bad for a stone quarry

To the editor: I come before you as a concerned citizen and taxpayer of this community.

Resident opposes quarry expansion

To the editor: As many people have recently learned, US Aggregates is planning to expand its stone quarry around Indiana 67 and Tyson Road, right at the edge of our city.

So, what is in your wallet?

To the editor: It appears the $1.9 trillion relief package will soon be on America’s doorsteps. The physical makeup of this amount in dollars is not only somewhat impressive but rather astonishing if one considers the attributes of such a staggering volume.

Will we be lost in the darkness?

To the editor: Adolph Hitler, the author of “Mein Kampf,” said: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” There are, ostensibly, enough Republicans that are willing to believe the “big lie” of Donald Trump as well.

Facebook page should be a forum

To the editor: I am a resident of District 33 and I am represented by JD Prescott.

Public $ belong in public schools

To the editor: “Please, sir, may I have some more?”

Thank you for supporting teams

To the editor: What a season. Jay County High School basketball was full of surprises in 2020-21.

Left seeks to ban speech it hates

To the editor: While I normally disagree with Michael Kinser, his letter to the editor regarding our giving up critical thinking was excellent.

Thank you for supporting effort

To the editor: The family and friends of Mandy Theurer would like to thank the many people who in some way made the fundraising benefit event such a success.

Thank you for honoring Vicki

To the editor: Maybe for the first time in my life I am at a loss for words to expertly express the thoughts that I have in appreciation for Jay County Chamber of Commerce renaming the Lifetime Achievement Award in honor and memory of my dear departed wife of 51-plus …

Funds should go to public schools

To the editor: Jay Classroom Teachers Association and Jay School Board of Trustees are writing to express sincere concern for the direction our state leaders appear to be taking during the current legislative session.

Local venues need support

To the editor: I write to request that Congress create a grant program to support recreation, sports and amusement venues that provide live entertainment yet were excluded from "Shuttered Venue Operators Grants" program (Section 324 of Public Law No:116-260).

Tell legislators to vote against 1005

To the editor: The Republican supermajority in the Indiana General Assembly is attempting to prioritize private education benefiting fewer than 10% of students, while underfunding its constitutional duty of providing a system of common school open and available to all.
