This letter is to denounce letters by Flannery and Harrington. Flannery does not live in Lake Placid long enough to even be considered a resident. So he expects to have our sheriff at his beck and call? Just maybe he could see all the good that has been done in Benton's term as sheriff of our county!

Her decision means that the issue of who the father is will remain open, and may never be known. Our government should demand that the father's name of every child born in America be put on the birth certificate. ...more
