Food distribution causes friction
MarkMcDaniel Friday, May 17, 2013: 4:38 pm	Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. Please all lets remember to care for the widow, I would not want to be the one who would deny the widows.

Proposal would rezone 65 properties

MarkMcDaniel Thursday, May 16, 2013: 9:00 am

You are right Shakika. If this is not about the annexation then lets put this on hold until this case gets to court. Why the need to rush this through this month? Why did holloway call a special meeting so this could all happen this month? Why did Holloway feel the need to lie repeatedly at the special meeting that this rezoneing was approved by the council when it was revealed that the council had never seen or even heard of this rezoneing request?

Donnelly calling for review of federal programs
MarkMcDaniel Wednesday, May 15, 2013: 5:57 pm	Why doesn't Joe Donnelly just tell us where and what he would be willing to cut instead of wasting more money on a study when we know he and others will not vote to cut anything but our military.

Foxcliff North considers incorporation

MarkMcDaniel Wednesday, May 15, 2013: 5:03 pm

Mr. Phil Deckard, I do not know what rumor I started. I stated that "it looks like Mayor Holloway and you are making friends all around Martinsville." The article is pretty self explanatory, they do not want to wait and find themselves in a lawsuit,like we have now if Martinsville ever does want to annex them. This tells me they are being proactive in wanting to avoid the leadership of you and Ross Holloway at any cost. I also know that about 95% of the people who own land in the annexed area also signed a petition wanting to avoid you and Ross Holloway's guidance and management. So it is pretty obvious citizens surrounding Martinsville have no interest in anything you and Ross Holloway have to offer. Unfortunately for you this is not a rumor, I have the evidence.

MarkMcDaniel Saturday, May 11, 2013: 9:27 am	It looks like Mayor Ross Holloway and his obedient second in command Phil Decard are making friends all around Martinsville.

City changes law firm for annex
MarkMcDaniel Wednesday, April 24, 2013: 6:32 am	The silence is deafening here tonight, where are all the city cheerleaders?

Earth Day Pitch-in
MarkMcDaniel Monday, April 22, 2013: 5:01 pm	No offense taken Brian, I was wanting to reaffirm his connection to NBC,s story.

Earth Day Pitch-in
MarkMcDaniel Monday, April 22, 2013: 9:11 am	Well of course "earth day organizers" have distanced themselves from murderer Ira Einhorn but the truth remains he was the founder and the master of ceremonies at the first earth day event. If he was not founder they have had 40 years to provide evidence that he was not so where is the evidence?

Earth Day Pitch-in

MarkMcDaniel Sunday, April 21, 2013: 7:30 pm

I am all for families getting together and cleaning up public areas if that is what gives them pleasure. But I personally would not want to be associated with a event started by a murderer Ira Einhorn. He was the founder of earth day and the master of ceramonies at the first earth day. He murdered ex his girlfriend Holly Maddox and kepted her dead body in a suitcase in his apartment closet for over a year. This is all about indoctrinating young children into getting on board with radical environmentalism. Count me out.

Educators unhappy with voucher expansion vote
MarkMcDaniel Thursday, April 11, 2013: 2:37 pm	Thanks Rod, I believe the teachers union has done enough damage to our nation.

Faith leaders concerned about HIP
MarkMcDaniel Monday, March 25, 2013: 11:27 am	Well with 800,000 per day losing their health insurance in Indiana in seven days none of us will have health insurance under the age of 65. What a bunch of political liberal hacks these so called religious leaders are. Maybe they should look into the cause of such high insurance cost ( Obama Care) instead of being a cheerleader for the take over of our health care by the government!

Push is on to roll back in-state tuition ban
MarkMcDaniel Monday, March 25, 2013: 10:55 am	Why haven't these college students applied for citizenship? I want them to "maximize their educational opprotunities" also I just don't want to pay for it. Why would the Indiana taxpayer be more beholden to an illegal resident than we would be someone from Ohio?

Surgeon gives back for future orthopedic patients
MarkMcDaniel Sunday, March 24, 2013: 7:28 am	Dr. Berend is a great person and surgeon.

Commissioners consider barriers for county buildings
MarkMcDaniel Tuesday, March 19, 2013: 7:04 pm	Not only has this women milked our city and county for tax dollars to pay her overly generous salary now we will have to foot the bill for more of her incompetence by her not being able to drive.

Car crashes into county building
MarkMcDaniel Thursday, March 14, 2013: 8:58 pm	She must have been answering the phone to one of those 12 businesses per month she claims she talks to that want to move to Morgan county but don't because we have not annexed larger areas of land. She never got around to mentioning that her salary was tied to her sucking up to City for our $50,000.00 annual donation to the MCEDC.

City approves $2 stormwater fee
MarkMcDaniel Tuesday, March 5, 2013: 9:00 pm	Dear Leadge, please read then read again I never mentioned Benard W. I was referring to the expert committee who voted to create a storm water fee the first and only night they ever convened a meeting. The reoccurring excuse for this new fee was the flood we had in 2008. Now give this some time to sink in with your superior intellect.

City approves $2 stormwater fee

MarkMcDaniel Tuesday, March 5, 2013: 7:41 pm

How dare councilman Price concern himself with how much the City is raising fees on his constituents. Everyone knows if we just give more and more of our pay checks to the city everything will be wonderful and Martinsville will never flood again. Has it ever dawned on anybody that when the water is 3-4 foot high on the walls of the homes as it was in 2008 that no amount of money we give to Ross Holloway to design a drainage system is going to alleviate that kind of rain event.

Indiana Economic Development Corp. transparency bill passes Senate
MarkMcDaniel Friday, March 1, 2013: 3:21 pm	It is about time they exposed this waste of taxpayer monies. To bad they didn't include local EDC's you would really see the complete waste of taxpayer money and zero jobs actually created by the Morgan County EDC.

City considers new utility charge

MarkMcDaniel Tuesday, February 12, 2013: 6:37 pm

This must be the first board in U.S. history that on the same night they became a board they also imposed a tax on everyone under their domain. Did any of these actors forget their lines to the script? Who didn't know this was coming. By the way could anyone tell us what are the qualifications of these board members? Do the have a lot of experience designing surface water drainage systems or are they just dependable pawns.

Letter to the editor spreads false information
MarkMcDaniel Sunday, February 10, 2013: 8:30 am	What I find strange about this whole story is that it did not even rate getting an story in the paper. I guess with all the other major events going on in Martinsville three kids falling through the ice and having to be rescued wasn't newsworthy. Seems somebody didn't want to talk about it.

Mayfield bill draws national attention
MarkMcDaniel Sunday, February 10, 2013: 7:58 am	Stick with it Peggy, students in public or private schools should not be eligible to vote just because they are temporarily here while getting an education. Even in-state students should only vote in their hometown districts. They are not vested in the district they are just partying for four years there.

Mass transit bill takes first step

MarkMcDaniel Monday, February 4, 2013: 9:20 am

Nobodyimportant,maybe I prematurely thought you might have some intelligence. Did it ever occur to you how remarkable it was that this 'bridges project" conclusion of us needing mass transit came out right when there was a bill in the legislature pushing for mass transit. I guess you thought this was a remarkable coincidence. Please make your case as you say you can that mass transit will financially payoff since it has been a remarkable failure everywhere else across this nation.

‘Valor knows no gender’
MarkMcDaniel Tuesday, January 29, 2013: 3:09 pm	Physical standards are already lower for women than men in the military why can't the liberal mindset tell the truth. The only thing Panetta needs applauded for is being a spineless pawn to the liberal agenda and being a good lair on equal standards.

Obituaries — Jan. 20, 2013
MarkMcDaniel Sunday, January 20, 2013: 9:07 am	When Bette was managing editor you always got an fair shake from her on a story. I grew to consider her a great gal, a friend, and a fair newspaper editor.

Bill calls for prescriptions for some cold medicines
MarkMcDaniel Sunday, January 13, 2013: 9:12 am	Yes, I am sure this will be as successful as all other measures have been on the war against drugs. Lets quit passing more and more laws hassling and imposing more cost on the law abiding citizen in a fruitless effort to control a few miscreants losers. Please quit "asking for my papers" to fight the common cold.

Bill seeks transparency in economic development efforts
MarkMcDaniel Wednesday, January 2, 2013: 8:55 am	Yes, lets not discourage investment in Indiana by letting the dumb taxpayer know where his money is being wasted by these masterminds who have never created a job in their life. Please go forward Sen. Jim Banks and Sen.Mike Delph! Sen. Buck I am expressing concerns now about transparency and waste in the local and State IEDC right now so you now have your first concerned citizen.

Salvage yard can stay
MarkMcDaniel Saturday, December 15, 2012: 2:38 pm	Congratulations to both families for defending your property rights. It is a shame that you had to waste so much of your own money just to defend yourself from your own local government who is supposedly here to serve the public. Try and have a Merry Christmas in spite of what you you have been through. Merry Christmas!

War against pot isn’t working
MarkMcDaniel Saturday, December 8, 2012: 9:30 am	I believe this is the only time I have agreed with this leftist extremist Krull. What people put in their own bodies after they 21 should be there own business, they are still subject to all laws regarding others safety, as in driving. I believe spending billions of tax dollars locking up and dragging through are court system non violent people is ridiculous.

ATV accidents increasing

MarkMcDaniel Monday, November 19, 2012: 12:14 pm

Isn't the timing of this article convenient. Where in this article does it say any of the wrecks were on county roads? Where the terrain would be level and smooth and no barbed wire or so steep that it rolls over on top of you. Just when we might get a little freedom around here some do-gooder enforcement bureaucrat wants to save us from ourselves. Did he take a riding course? That would be good to know. Lets just ban ATV's and then we can save lives.

Property owners sue to stop annex

MarkMcDaniel Sunday, November 11, 2012: 2:00 pm

To the point: Let me explain some more to you. Other than the intersection at liberty Church Rd. everything in the annexation area is already in the City bufferzone, which as you say already controls what type business could locate there. So do you think it is fair that 3100 acres of ground and 140 families should have their property taxes doubled so that the City can tell BP oil which one of four corners they should build on at Liberty church intersection? Who knows at this time if any company whats to build there or if anything is for sale. Is the County totally incapable of making an intelligent decision? Do we have to have Ross Holloway tell us which one of four corners is the right answer? Maybe he should tell us now and then all of us would know and then we would not have had to go through all of this waste of time and taxpayer money.

‘In dangerous waters’
MarkMcDaniel Monday, October 22, 2012: 7:00 pm	Not to many Freds' left, he is a great guy.

Ordinance would allow ATVs on the road
MarkMcDaniel Wednesday, October 17, 2012: 4:25 pm	I hope this passes. Give people a little liberty back. We in the rural areas would like to be able to use the roads we all payed for without getting ticketed. Could "confused again" elaborate on the exemption he spoke of, I farm and have never heard of this exemption. Thanks goes to our Sheriff for actually wanting to cut the people some slack.
