	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...

Every year, thousands of girls across Northeast Ohio gain valuable, character building skills...
	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.

	Red Cross Gives Thanks November 23, 2009 Dear Editor, As Thanksgiving approaches, family and friends gather to give thanks for their good fortune over the past year. The American Red Cross of Summit and Portage Counties would like to take this opportunity to thank its family and friends as...
	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...
	Hudson Schools Made a Bad Decision About Safety September 8, 2009 For those of you who missed it, here is the reported text of the letter found at a Hudson country club on Monday night, Labor Day Weekend. ''It is time for taking a stand and stopping the takeover,'' the note reads. ''It will stop. It won't happen....
	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...
	Tea Party August 3, 2009 I recently contacted our local State Representative Mike Moran, 42nd District of Ohio to discuss the current issues in Washington D.C. that will affect all levels of Federal, State and local government and in turn the citizens of the United States of...
	Football -Tony Kornheiser is Out; Jon Gruden is In May 20, 2009 The surprise announcement came on Monday, May 18th. The Monday Night Football booth was about to go through another re-shuffle. Tony Kornheiser, an ESPNer for years, decided he wanted out of the booth, at least that's the way it's being pitched...
	Flashing Traffic Lights December 18, 2008 No flashing traffic lights at secondary intersections during late night to early morning. People already drive too fast through Hudson with little regard to speed limits. Why increase...
	Palin not ready for Pesidency. October 28, 2008 Palin as President? The Vice President's most important role is that of the President-In-Waiting. The VP must be able to take over for the President if the President dies, has a stroke, or otherwise becomes incapacitated. If Palin becomes president, she will be eaten-up and made a puppet by the experienced Washington...
	You May Be Like Me October 26, 2008 You may be like me. I grew up in Hudson. Graduated from high school in Hudson. Now I'm a father of...

	Styrofoam: Overuse? June 10, 2008 Our school district is overusing Styrofoam, the very material our district's lunch trays are made of. Styrofoam has been banned in several school districts already, including San Francisco and Berkeley School Districts. Switching our trays to a material that is biodegradable or reusable would be extremely friendly to our...
