  • Etta News

    Time comes and time goes, can’t stand still.  Sorta comparable with the weather conditions.  Cold comes in goes out and warm conditions moved in.  As it was a very pleasant day Sunday with the warmer temperature and it was better than the preceding shivering days with the cold winds blowing so strongly made it more comfortable to stay in the house out of the cold with the heat going at a pretty high speed.

           Described by some as political hot potatoes, the salaries of elected and appointed officials in any city, county or state, are anything, but that.

        Using the excuse of a “bad economy” to excuse everything from misuse of federal bailout money by bankers to inappropriate business transactions on a personal level, is becoming the practice of those who experience questions or challenges about what their activities. The problem is that, as an excuse, it has been worn completely out by our national politicians and business leaders leaving nothing of any substance to be used anywhere else or for any other reasons.
