	Race to the Top and Teacher Pay for Performance August 24, 2010 When President Obama announced his Race to the Top Initiative last November, he stated: "I've got to be honest, we've got to do a better job of moving bad teachers out of the classroom once they've been given an opportunity to do it right."

	a look at a citizens medical insurance expenses July 30, 2010 My medical insurance as well as my wife's is covered by Medicare and a private insurer for our part C and D.

	Seneca Woods May 24, 2010 I applaud the Park Board's choice of Seneca Woods. It is a great recognition to the American Indians who utilized the Ohio lands as a neutral passage and hunting grounds. Owning land came with the European settlers which caused misunderstandings,...
	Schools Not Telling All To Citizens /Taxpayers May 5, 2010 Does anyone know of a commercial industry that allows for the accumulation of hundreds of sick leave days from one year to the next year?

	Dr. Scott the Orthodontist March 27, 2010 I want to send a special thank you to Dr. Scott for helping one of my students. In a day and age when most people are unwilling to donate their time and talents, you went above and beyond to help a young child in need. Thank you very much for...
	Our "Progressive" Local Government March 7, 2010 Citizens of Hudson do not need to look to Washington, D.C. to witness the growth of big government and the profligate spending of taxpayer money. Just look at our City Council and School Board. In the face of a stagnant economy, the Council (Ms....
	Questions about School Spending - Contracts February 22, 2010 Over the years since moving to Hudson I've discussed questions of spending and levies that are required to finance our school district. I don't think anyone will disagree that the largest budget item in any school district is labor / personnel be it the...
	park name and wasteful city spending February 6, 2010 I have the perfect name for the Hudson park. Why not call it "TAX PAYER PARK" or better yet " SCHOOL LEVY RECREATION AREA"! Kind of has a nice ring to it. We never seem to address the main issues around Hudson which is simply the accountability of our...
	TOO much Media.... January 28, 2010 I am thankful that I live in a country where I am able to freely express my opinion publicly. This opportunity to present my concerns over continued Media attention is greatly appreciated. Since February of 2009, I have noticed more and more...

	More problems with Hudson bussing December 2, 2009 I began my job as a bus driver for Hudson City Schools to stay close to my children.

	Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize October 9, 2009 Hi! I'm a student at Hudson High School and I just want to speak in President Obama's defense and say that he is a good human being and if he won an award that big, it obviously was not a hasty decision to persent him with that honor. I really do not...
	School is about diversity September 18, 2009 Dear Bonnie " Since you asked the question, "Who are you to have such strong viewpoints regarding decisions parents make in this community about their own children." I have a response. First, I have no anger to your decision and you have a right...
	President's Address to School Children September 16, 2009 I think we are all tired of hearing about Obama's adress to the children. What's wrong with parents having the option to 'opt-out' if they wish? Having this option kept all parents happy, those who wanted their kids to hear the speech and those who did...
	Hudson purchase of Youth Development Center September 13, 2009 The purchase of the Youth Development Center property demonstrates a disturbing lack of focus of the Hudson City Council. It is beyond the scope of city government to "invest" constituents' money in any project and to any degree, at any time. The...

	Fiscal Responsibility August 23, 2009 The recent articles regarding the library cuts were somewhat disturbing in nature. Yes I know the budget has been reduced some 300k. But has anyone noticed the other stories in the paper? City Manager given a raise, new fire truck ordered, teachers...
