Speak Out

Nepotism Speaking of nepotism didn’t the former board president have a two sisters and her husband working for the district. In defense of the school board they did interview other candidates and narrowed the search down to two candidates. The process has been very transparent. It’s time to move on and support the new superintendent…

Thank you to all our first responders (police, fire, EMS, and ambulance) for being diligent in last night’s storm.

Is anyone asking the school board the hard questions about the Fine Arts and Sports project at the high school?Theoriginalproposal indicated the cost would be $12.9 million for both projects. Yet, somehow that cost is now $27.9 million. Why? Did the building committeeoftheschoolboard do their due diligence in talking to the architects about their bid?…

The statement was made in the letter to the editor Friday about “Urging the community to ask hard questions about these proposals and their likely ramifications”. Call the person in charge of the newly proposed Lincoln Hall and ask them yourself. Don’t rely on poor and inaccurate information from unreliable sources behind the scenes trying…

In response to the Letter to the Editor on Friday, you indicate “blueprints and financial details have not been presented to the community so the viability of the project cannot be judged.” Who is judging it? You? Community members? This is a privately funded project. So what if fundraising has been started. Why would we…

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones!

Shame on you! We have a lot of great…

Whomever the community leader was that said “The town can’t support both (Lincoln Hall and THS project)”, is sadly mistaken. Take the town of Effingham, for example, who has a performing arts center AND a high school… The Effingham Performance Center (EPC) brings in people from all over the state, not just Effingham to go…

To the writer of the Letter to the Editor in Friday’s paper: Lincoln Hall would not be JUST for residents of Taylorville, rather people from all over the area. We have a robust retail community right now that sees people from Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, and several other states traveling here already to shop at our…

Amendment I don’t mean to imply amply anything but could the Breeze Courier run the proposed “Workers Rights” amendment in the paper bill without comment or bias so the voters can decide if it is good for themselves? Flu shots Did anyone else notice that a local veterinarian was giving flu shots to humans at…

Fully functional I see the gross injustice going on Jackson, MS and I’m reminded of our County Board. Jackson was given funds to update a failing infrastructure and to help the most vulnerable in Mississippi. Instead, the politicians thought they knew better and gave money to Brett Favre for fake speeches and an attempt to…
