  • Taxpayers can no longer afford county workers’ Cadillac insurance plan

    At a time when local governmental bodies throughout our nation are struggling with their budgets, cost-cutting becomes a central issue. But not in Perry County.

    County commissioners, county council and all county employees enjoy a Cadillac health plan that would be the envy of local governments anywhere. They get fat-cat insurance and you and I pay the bill.

    A few statistics that may raise your eyebrows and your temper:

    Private Sector

    Average deductible

  • Mayor should address alley issue

    I would like to take a minute to say thank you to our mayor. I went to speak to her about five weeks ago about an alley falling in on the 1100 block off 11th Street in Tell City.

    She was not in her office, but she did call me at my home to agree with me that something needed to be done about this problem. She was going to call me back the next week to talk to me about this problem.

    She is aware the street department has tried to repair this problem several times. I am still waiting for her call.

    It looks like the annexation situation will not be resolved during the present administration. So I think we should ask questions of the candidates.
