It seems to me that Barbara Stewart and Jeff Carlson are still vindictive and vengeful in spirit against the Highlands County Sheriff and her department. Reading in the paper today of the vote they cast, I just wonder if they did they get a raise? Did they refuse it or give it to a needy cause? ...more

In reference to Mr. Gates Sr's. letter, "So LongIllegals," he blames it all on just the Democratic Party. Why not start with your city and county to send illegals packing?

They would not release the names of any of the employees who attended, and said that they were not required to do so because they are a sponsor of the NFL. Meanwhile, G.M., another NFL sponsor, said that none of their employees attended the game. Maybe that's why they only asked for $35 billion! ...more

Debra Saunders had an opinion in Highlands Today on Jan. 30, about the use of medical marijuana, but took it to a higher level. I have in my opinion not seen an article worthy of print from Saunders to date! She did, however, get one comment right, (some doctors) give "THC" properties. ...more
