Letters: Voters speak their minds

November 12, 2009

To the editor:

I read with interest the Edwardsville City administrator’s comments on the failed sales tax. What part of “no” doesn't he understand?

I, and probably 90 percent of the residents of Edwardsville, didn't get a pay raise this year, and it doesn't look good for next year. I say the city will have to tighten its belt more, just like we have to. No more taxes.

Maybe we could do without a city administrator as we did for years. That would probably free up a six-digit figure.

Point of View

How has the recent heat advisory altered your daily activities?

“Actually, we’ve spent more time outside lately working hardcore on our backyard doing some major landscaping. Lots of water breaks helped us through it. Since being outside so much, the warm weather doesn’t phase me anymore.”
