Letter to the editor very well said
I just finished the letter to the editor by Barton D. West. Very well said Mr. West, very well said.

Receipt should be offered
In Tecumseh, utility bills are double the price they rightfully should be. I’m afraid to turn my air conditioner on this year because I know it’ll be a struggle to pay it. And wouldn’t it be nice here if they kindly handed us a receipt when we paid it instead of having to ask for one.

Clean up red boxes
A good place to start with the clean up Shawnee project could be the cleaning up of the debris around the red collection boxes scattered around town and also the regulation of them.

Say This

This is in reference to the person who was concerned about how people pronounce Tecumseh. I was also born and raised in TecumSUH and now I live on Adyelotte Street. Believe me, nobody knows how to pronounce Adyelotte. It’s pronounced A-D-E, ADE, L-O-T, LOT.

In agreement with appreciation of Sparks
I very much agree with Marie Weehunt. What she wrote is very well-said about Brother Larry Sparks.
He is one of the best men God created and called to do His work. I know because I attend his church. Here is another bouquet of flowers, Brother Larry. God bless you and your family.

Social Security funds for families
I would like to know why Social Security benefits are being paid to seniors who have minor children under the age of 18.

I know of a family that is collecting an additional 18K a year in Social Security benefits from Social Security.

This is not fair to those living on fixed incomes and additional money is being paid out because they chose to have children later in life.

No friend to the U.S.
The ACLU is no friend to the U.S. military or the sovereignty of this nation.

Storm drain needs cleaning out
Why can’t they clean the storm drains out at least every two months? They came out, cut the grass around it, and left it and the trash there.

Auto inspection needs to return
I think that inspection of automobiles should return to the state of Oklahoma. That way, you’d have to show proof of insurance and if you’ve ever driven around at night here, you can see cars with one headlight, no taillight or a broken light or no brake light or no turn signals.
I’d be willing to pay a pretty good sum to get my car inspected. I think it should be returned.

Other product prices aren’t dropping with fuel prices
I’m just wondering why the products that went up with the gasoline prices, the fuel prices, haven’t came down now that the fuel prices have dropped. For instance, the freight has gone out of sight; the products in the stores went up 30 percent. They all said it was because of the prices of the fuel. Freight — why hasn’t the freight come down now that the fuel prices have come down? Anyone else wondering about this?

The Shawnee City Council needs to do something about this sorry trash service in Shawnee. This is the second week in a row that the yard waste crew that is supposed to come on Wednesday to the Brookhaven addition has not come and picked up our yard waste. It is 5:01 p.m. right now and we’ve waited all day long for yard waste pickup and it hasn’t come by yet — and I doubt it will at this late hour. We need some help City Hall. Get those trash people in gear. Thank you.

Reader hopes judge makes right decision for canine
I want to weigh in on the article that was in Wednesday’s paper about Max. I’m not criticizing the officer — I don’t know the circumstances of the incident — but from the article it seems this may be a miscarriage of justice and I pray the judge makes the right decision for this family and Max.

Why grip?
I see where Mr. Hall is writing about people are tired of Obama and the Congress’ taxes. But if Mr. Hall will remember, everyone was gung-ho for Obama before the election. So now they’re paying for it. So why are they griping?

This is in reference to the clean-up that Tecumseh does once a year.
I feel it would sure help out if they done it for more than four hours.

Tecumseh raising utility rates, again?
I just read where Tecumseh is raising utility bills 5 percent. It would be comical how greed that is if it wasn’t so painful.

Reader: Isn’t it unlawful to dump dogs in the country?
Question for Scoopie: We live south of Tecumseh about 15 minutes and was wondering what we could do about people dumping animals there? Is it against the law to dump dogs?

Way to go

My call is in regard to Ron Taffe’s letter to the editor on Sunday: I just wanted to say it’s all true and way to go, Ron.

Signups for Tecumseh youth?
When will Tecumseh have baseball signups for the youth?

Equal pay for equal labor says reader
In response to Howard Hall’s comment about women and pay. It’s a known fact that women have made less money than men and do just as well or better jobs than men. It is time women get paid what a man does for the same equal job that a man does.

People in the Tri-County area talk about what is important in their life. 

Seniors deserve best
Tecumseh High School seniors deserve the best for their graduation. They want to have graduation at Raley Chapel, not on a football field.
