Learn about candidates for office

It’s time to acknowledge violation

We are calling, again, on Jay County Commissioners to acknowledge their error.

Violation must be acknowledged

Since last weekend, we have repeatedly heard the question: What is the public’s recourse in regard to what The Commercial Review believes was an illegal discussion under Indiana’s Open Door Law? Our answer comes below. But first let’s take a look at how we got here.

Sunshine is important for us all

Sunshine is great. But it only matters if you take advantage of it.

Amendments hurt public access

The situation with House Bill 1338, authored by State Rep. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City), displayed a frustrating aspect of the legislative process — in committee or on second reading in a chamber, anyone can offer an amendment.

Decorum bill should become law

Representatives of the Association of Indiana Counties, Indiana County Commissioners and Accelerate Indiana Municipalities, as well as Indiana Public Access Counselor Luke Britt were among those testifying in favor of Indiana House Bill 1338 on Tuesday morning. Add us to the list of supporters.

Prepare if planning to seek office

Jay County’s Purdue Extension Office and Jay County Clerk’s Office are partnering on an event at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Jay County Courthouse. It is designed to provide advice to anyone considering running for local office.

Become a community contributor

Expand your horizons. This is the time of year many are looking at making changes. Whether it’s New Year’s Resolutions or simply turning over a new leaf, it’s a time to think about bettering ourselves.

Stigma stands in way of recovery

Stigma. It’s something folks who seek to help those who struggle with addiction have been trying to erase for years. Unfortunately, it remains alive and well.

Our holiday schedule is changing

Change. Folks tend to be averse to change. Even when change is positive, there are often unforeseen consequences.

Give thanks in times of adversity

Maybe the most important thing to remember tomorrow — aside, of course, from being thankful — is the climate in which Thanksgiving Day was established as a national holiday.

Help us honor excellent educators

Education. It is tremendously important. The more we learn, the richer our lives become. That’s why our second new special section being introduced this year will be dedicated to those who provide that most valuable resource, our teachers.

It is important to make your list

Make your list on Thursday.
