It is sad that these people at a peaceful gathering had to die to wake everyone up to the fact that words can have consequences. This killer was obviously psychologically imbalanced. I only hope that it makes those in the public eye more conscious of what they say. Some I realize will continue because of ratings or political agenda and financial reasons. We need the first amendment to protect our right of freedom of speech. But do we need to inflame to force our opinions on others. Jon at least makes the point that he may have crossed the line at one time or another. This probably applies to all of us at one time or another.

What a waste of time. Who cares how out of towners pronounce it. I have never heard anyone put someone down for how they pronounce the state name. Some will joke about it. Okay legislature I hope I don't see this being brought up when as others said we have important things to address next year.

I have lived in Henderson for 16 years. I like the tone of the community. As big as Henderson has gotten, it still does a good job for the citizens. We have an excellent police department, fire department and a mulitude of great services. I fear consolidation of services could jeopardize this. I would ask our Mayor and council to go cautiously before making any decisions that could hurt this great city.

Haven't we lost enough tourist business? As an example we get thousands of Mexican tourists who come here to spend mucho money. This could discourage them and send them elsewhere. Good idea Chad "Nutjob Jr.". Asians also comprise a great deal of our visitors. Now we want to shake them down to make sure they are legal, what a concept. I guess Chad thinks our law enforcement don't have anything better to do. Even public employees have a right to bargain in private. Jimmy comes up with one goofy thing after another. He will continue until he is gone this fall.

I had a gopher problem in Wisconsin years ago. I had a german shepherd that left piles of poo on a daily basis. I took it and stuffed it into the holes and they soon decided to move. That worked with a wood chuck also. Encourage everyone to bring their dogs to the park and collect the dog poo and stuff it into the holes. Good fertalizer also.
