We need to build
a high-speed superhighway here in Fayette. And, no, I don't mean the
kind paved with asphalt.
Even
on environmental issues, costs count
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Even on environmental
issues, costs count Environmental groups have issued a nationwide call
to arms this election year, asking their members to raise a ruckus and
push the groups' agendas to the top of the 2000 campaign debate.
IRS
gun taxation measure is no urban legend; this is the real thing
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
A Citizen reader
shared an e-mail warning with us in last week's paper about a pending
bill in the U.S. Senate that seeks to mandate hand gun registration
and taxation through an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Since I had received the same message through a conservative listing
service, I went on a mission to check it out myself. So many of the
e-mails we get are bogus urban legends or outright lies. You can never
be too careful in substantiating what you read. Here's what I found
out about U.S. Senate bill 2099.

Murphy's 12 steps
to fitness This week I made my way back down to the altar of exercise
as I started working out all over again. For a lot of reasons over the
summer, I had gotten out of the routine of going to World Gym. And though
I have written often about my progress since joining last winter, this
is the first time I have fallen off the wagon. So now it is time to
start back.
Letters to
the Editor
We
need more classes, not more crowded ones
We had the distinct
privilege of serving with other community members on the Fayette County
Board of Education Facilities Committee. Our task was to determine how
best to meet the school facility needs of our children in the near future.
After numerous, lengthy meetings where we reviewed everything from class
levels to funding options to physical requirements and costs, we are
convinced of several things that we would like to share with you:
F'ville
retail vacancies: Who's serious about filling spaces?
In your article
of Aug. 23, "City struggles with major retailers' financial woes,"
you cited the many vacant retail spaces in Fayetteville with few options
to attract new tenants.
BOE
is making mistake with 10-year bond payback scheme
An open letter
to the School Board of Fayette County on school financing:
IRS
bill a technical change, doesn't add anything to existing regulations
I am writing in
response to Chuck James' letter about an e-mail he received stating
that a bill currently making its way through Congress would require
handgun users to register all of their firearms on their Form 1040 for
the 2000 tax year.
Column
should have been on front page
I enjoyed your article
in the Wednesday Citizen, "Is our way of life doomed?"
People
are ignorant of U.S. history
The editorial comment
by Dave Hamrick on the present state of our government is on target.
He cites the belief by many that we have a democracy. That is false!
We have a republic, as he states.
Gore
election will seal our nation's fate
Your editorial today
hit the nail on the head. We are in a tailspin.
Doomed?
Ayn Rand got itright in her book
Subject: Is our
way of life doomed?
