It is truly amazing how support for the Birch Solar Farm comes from folks who do not live anywhere near the proposed installation. I remember attending meetings where yellow T-shirt wearing supporters worked the crowd. At the time I could not find anyone who lived near the proposed site among the supporters.

In an article in “The Jacobin” dated Feb. 11, “Pete Buttigieg’s Transportation Department is Skirting Safety Standards,” the authors lay the blame for the East Palestine derailment squarely at the feet of the federal government.

The framers of our Constitution established two houses of Congress. The House of Representatives, with 435 members, is elected based on population. The Senate represents each state with two Senators from each state for a total of 100 Senators.

Allen County taxpayers still have the chance to reap a remarkable harvest from the Birch Solar project in Shawnee Township, if only our commissioners will speak for us.

This is just a little note to say a big kudos to our wonderful Elida Bulldogs boys basketball team.

This is just a head’s up or an FYI, whatever you want to call it, to all telemarketers: If you hang up right after I say “hello,” you will never be able to sell me anything. So don’t call me anymore.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy is soon to be the third Republican Speaker of the House to be run out of town by his own zealots. John Boehner and Paul Ryan received that treatment.
