Editor’s note: In keeping with tradition, this is the last day the News-Press will publish comments concerning the school levy on Tuesday’s ballot. We welcome your calls on other matters.

Unfair, unbalanced

In 2004, there was a shortage of flu vaccine and gas prices were increasing. The media told us this was George Bush’s fault. Now we have a shortage of flu vaccine and the gas prices are increasing. But I haven’t heard or read that this is Obama’s fault. Is this another example of media bias?

Rock on

To “In the swing,” on Saturday at 5 p.m. is Lawrence Welk on Channel 11, and on Saturday and Sunday check the school channels on public cable. They play 1950s music and ’40s and ’60s.

Raise it

I like the idea of the catchphrase “Our Children. Our Future. Our Decision.” But then, in today’s paper what does Janet Pullen say that they’re going to use the money for? Well, some of the recommendations would be we could get salary schedules for teachers. So let’s change that slogan: “Our students. Our future. Our teacher salary raises.”

Priority alert

I just read in the paper that they’re out looking for a homeless woman who did a little bit of cheating on her taxes by claiming her four children. Now, for Pete’s sake, don’t they have someone else to go after? What’s the object in trying to find a homeless woman when there are probably a thousand people in St. Joseph and the surrounding area who have done worse things?

Open your ears

I never thought I would be calling in, defending St. Joseph Cablevision. The person in Wednesday’s “It’s your call” wanted some 1950s music. What more could you want than what is on the Cablevision system? There are 40 music channels. Now I do have a complaint. They took the bluegrass off the music channels.
