Letter: what is the deal with our water quality?

Posted by Fred Steiner on May 17, 2010 - 5:23pm

Icon readers want to know:

What is the deal with our water quality? Most days the Ottawa water quality is much softer, though not very tasty, compared to the old Bluffton water.

But we have had repeated periods of very rusty water, making our toilets nasty and laundry a nightmare.

Why is this happening and will it ever end? If it is related to repair work, can the Village notify residents?

Letter: Vote "Yes" on the May 4 school renewal levy

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 26, 2010 - 4:48am

Icon viewers:
In Bluffton we have the privilege of a school that consistently ranks near the top for student learning. At the same time our school ranks near the bottom for money spent per student. What a bargain. We have high performance at low cost. From an economic viewpoint it doesn't get much better.

Letter: Concern over "Value Added Taxes"

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 14, 2010 - 8:27am

Icon viewers:
What is a Value Added Tax, commonly called VAT? These are taxes that we will be facing because of all the spending of our government. It is considered a consumption tax. It is a complicated tax but simply put, each stage or process a tax is added.

Viewer urges voters to support school renewal levy

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 5, 2010 - 6:09am

Icon viewers:

As a member of the Committee for Better Schools, I am urging voters to VOTE "YES" for our schools! It is a renewal of an existing 1/2% Income Tax for Permanent Improvements, it is not a new tax. There are many improvements that have been made to the schools and many more that are needed to be completed.
