Sedline for Nov. 8

“With the unemployment situation in this state and county, I hope the county commission is going to be happy with the IOUs that are going to be sent in instead of tax dollars this coming year.”

“It’s good to see that someone is giving drunk driving attention. I hope the punishments fit the crime. Convicted felons of drunk driving should not get work release as an option. That’s just making it convenient for the criminal.”

“We attended the (Oct. 26) program of the Sedalia Symphony and the music was beautiful. The symphony is very talented, a great treasure for the community. ... It was a beautiful evening and very well done.”

“Congress is debating health care and the Republicans are saying it is way too expensive and will drive up huge deficits and we just can’t afford it. Are these the same people who eight years ago cut our taxes and started two wars?”

“I was just thinking to myself what a shame it is that we have such a beautiful new high school in town but passersby really don’t know what it is because there’s no sign outside.”

“I think its great on Halloween night that sex offenders cannot have their light on. I think everybody needs to keep an eye on the sex offenders ... We need to protect our kids.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the article about Gene and Opal Kelley. They are truly an inspiration to every couple.”

“It was awful nice of us to be able to go to Knob Noster to play on their football field ... and pay them $1,200 ... and it was awful nice that Sacred Heart was able to go to Lincoln and play on their (turf field) and pay $400, instead of fixing up our own football field. It doesn’t look like a cow pasture. It’s taken well care of (and) I don’t understand why we pay all that kind of money to go someplace else to play when it’s the seniors last game.”

“This is an emergency Sedline, and print it in tomorrow’s paper on the front page.”
