Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am writing this because I think we can do a better job of how we communicate about property tax bills, assessments, notifications and simplifying a process that seems more complicated than it should be.  I am going to share my experience as a newcomer to Water Valley and what my experience has…

Dear Editor In the adrenaline rush to malign democracy in pursuit of a socialist, cradle to grave nanny state, Democrats overlook (ignore) the fact that Barack is responsible for the recent “unpleasantness” in Iran.  If he had given Iran two planes loaded with American dollars instead of just one, then Iran could have finished building…

Dear Editor, Last week, one of our neighbor’s cats was shot and maimed. The poor kitty had to have its leg amputated due to the injury. What kind of horrid person would do such a cruel, sick act? We live off Main Street near Wagner. Please be aware and protect your cats if they are…

Letter To The Editor, May 5, 2023 I’m writing this letter to anyone who is in the know, and even to those who may not know. The ones in the know should be the teachers, the principals, and, if they are doing their job, the school board members who are placed in office to monitor…

Dear Editor, We want to let the veterans know that they are in our thoughts and prayers during this beautiful Christmas season. We offer our heartfelt appreciation for your service to our country. We know that as a country and as a family, we would not have the peace, safety, religious freedom and blessings without…

Dear Editor, Just an update and a few comments  on the dog saga in our neighborhood on County Road 224. Our contractors have completed the addition to the dog enclosure. As of Monday morning 10 dogs are inside the fence and three are in the house. One of the dogs inside is the smallest of…

Dear Editor, What do school rankings really mean?   What is a D rating? “Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates are below the state median for the given year. Reading or mathematics growth in the all students group is below the state median for the given year.” This is according to a publication from the…
