Letters

I’m tired. I’m tired of being poisoned and not taken care of by doctors. I’m tired of trying to handle my health problems.

Have you heard the good news that god has blessed us with a nation that honors a man’s individual freedom? Whether the freedom to praise or just stay still, freedom to lift up your hands and shout or silently kneel before the altar.

I’ve waited a few times in receiving The Lima News, in its new format, to voice my opinion. I’ve waited long enough.

My son, Jordan Garmatter, died April 6, 2019, from illicit fentanyl poisoning. Jordan was a wonderful son and young man, and he didn’t want to die. My heart is forever broken and my life has forever changed, as the grief of losing a child is so very overwhelming. The pain never goes away.

After trying to read and understand the letters to the editor over the years — like most of those in the May 27 edition, for example — I have some important advice: If you want people to read, let alone understand, your letter, keep it short!

I recently read the book “The Strange Case of Dr. Wine” by Brice Brenneman. I was appalled by the way Doug Wine was treated by the Auglaize County judicial system.

I was pleased to read the recent Lima News Reminisce article about “Memories of Dan’s Candyland.” That account takes me back to my teens, when a quarter would be enough to pay your admission to the Majestic Theater or buy you a hamburger and a giant malt at Dan’s Candyland.

Where is fiscal accountability in Congress? As a former two-term township trustee, I know how government works. An annual budget is approved. When the invoices (bills) come due, you must pay them.
