Letters

After a long summer, my husband and I felt we needed a small getaway. We left on July 20 and returned on July 21 – two of the hottest days we have had this summer.
The first day was enjoyable. The second day was something else.
When we entered the last shop of the day, there were six chairs with straight backs sitting in front of the shop outside in the scorching heat.
My husband has an illness that affects his walking and has pain in his back. He walks with a cane and sometimes with a walker with wheels.

In 2010, 19,500 abused and neglected kids in Kentucky needed child protective services – that’s over 50 children every day for an entire year.
Would you recognize that child if you saw them riding a bike or playing on the playground or waiting at a bus stop? You probably couldn’t, since this crime cuts across all social, economic and ethnic boundaries.

What a wonderful thank you to the economic director, Annette King, in the July 6 edition. In last week’s edition, a letter of support, depicting a very busy, very caring economic director that truly is going to be missed.
As Annette’s parents, it’s our turn to thank the business owners and EDA supporters. You made such a gallant effort to save the EDA after both local government agencies pulled funding. Unfortunately, you could not sway those forces in power.

The Taylorsville-Spencer County Economic Development Authority would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the business owners, residents and individuals that have supported and encouraged this entity.
We say goodbye with heavy hearts. The mission of this office was business recruitment and business retention. Promoting and marketing this community, building bridges with surrounding counties and cultivating relationships with elected representatives on both state and national levels.
