We have a new man stepping into the Mayors office. I have high hopes that under his guidance our city counsel will take a long look at some of the programs our city has in place. We are spending somewhere around a half M. dollars a year on the police force. There are other areas of duplication of services that should be looked as well. I would like to wish them good hunting.

I just heard something that is very disturbing. Apparently the St. Anthony Police Department is not willing to do it's job. The Fremont County Prosecutor complained that the city officers would not do the work needed to prosecute felony cases that occur in the city. So, the Fremont County Sheriff is now handling felony cases that occur in the city. So, why do we need a police department? And why do we pay these officers over $20 an hour to write tickets and sit in the office? This is crazy. It is time that something was done!! The citizens need to let the Mayor and Council know that they will not stand for this. I certainly hope the new mayor will take care of this disaster we call...

I see by changing the format for bloggers on The Standard Journal Newspaper articles, they must have accomplished what they wanted. To stop people from commenting on what is written. That is to bad. Jeers to the Standard Journal.

I am outraged by what I've just read in this news story. I encourage all to browse to http://rexburbia.com/2009/09/23/soldier-gets-mocked-by-sugar and read for yourself. We can't let our soldiers be treated like this, especially our young recruits, otherwise what will happen to the volunteer military we depend on so much?

Tuesday's speech to students by President Barack Obama could be considered one of his most controversial so far. In recent days, school districts around the area have been flooded with e-mails and phone calls regarding the President's address. Many parents are threatening to take their students out of school for the day if their school airs the presidential broadcast. This conduct by parents sets a very poor example for the kids. I wonder what the parents are afraid of? This conduct opens the door for the KKK and other white supremacist groups. If they establish a foot hold you will get to see first hand what a burning cross looks like. That is what they do when they don't want you around.

Former Mayor Bill Beck is on the aggenda for the next Council meeting to discuss the City Budget. This raises a question or two, Has Bill become more stupid since he resigned as Mayor, and now he believes that he can talk to them on their level. Or Has the Council become smarter since he resigned so that they will be able to understand what he...

We the people deserve and should have the same health care as Congress period. Not what ever they shove down our throats. EITHER WAY WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE WHAT THEY (Congress) HAVE NO IF'S AN'S OR BUTT'S

I SUGGEST SCOTT KAMACHI START RUNNING FOR MAYOR NOW. HE HAS THE BUSINESS SENSE FOR THE JOB AND HE PROVED IT WHEN HE WAS ON THE COUNCIL BEFORE. BRYAN HAS PROVED HIMSELF AS BUDGET MINDED AND THAT HE WAS REASONABLE AND PRUDENT WHEN HE WAS THE POLICE CHIEF. HE WOULD MAKE A GOOD MAYOR ALSO. HOWEVER IF HE WILL CONTINUE ON THE COUNCIL AND SCOTT AS MAYOR WITH A COUPLE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT KNOW HOW TO SAY NO THIS CITY COULD TURN AROUND IT'S SPENDING AND IT'S IMAGE. FIRST THING TO CHANGE THE IMAGE WOULD BE TO GET A NEW POLICE CHIEF THAT KNOWS THE PEOPLE AND HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS. THAT WOULD BE AN EASY PICK, APPOINT LUKE DAVIS AS POLICE CHIEF IF HE WOULD ACCEPT. HE IS JUST THE MAN FOR...

I would like to know why it is ok to publish something about one officers family and not another. Recently there was a article in the paper about Bryan Fullmer's son and there has been one the paper about Donald Powell's son in the past about drinking, but when it was brought up about the chief of police's son being arrest for murder in California it wasn't ok to run that article because it wouldn't be right. Why is not ok to let everyone know about the chief son when its ok to let them know about other officers children? I guess I don't see the difference.

A civil rights case against Fremont County has been settled. Seems Jordan Carter got mouthy with the deputies daughter who was a ride along guest in the patrol car. I think it would have been really good if Deputy Griffel would have gave him a right good thrashing. Maybe Jordan Carter would have learned some manners.
