The general election takes place in 12 days. On the ballot are candidates for federal, state and local offices.
Sunday night I sat down with my mail-in ballot and read through the list of names.
Many I recognize due to my job as a reporter. I attend a lot of meetings and meet quite a few people....
Question: This summer I sent you an email asking about the legality of individuals discharging grass clippings from lawn mowers onto public roads. They can be very slippery when wet and otherwise are a mess. I never heard back from you, nor did I see a response in my local paper. Please advise...
