As a resident of Huntingburg, I will be casting my vote to re-elect Mayor Denny Spinner. Mayor Spinner has pledged to run a positive campaign, but that is easier said than done. How many politicians have made that promise? He has kept that promise by running a campaign based on integrity and character. So where…
Jasper Democratic candidate Wayne Schuetter’s campaign rhetoric carefully avoids confronting the following: 1.

During my 68 years as a citizen of Jasper, I have seen many mayors, Democrat and Republican, serving the city of Jasper. In my mind, our current mayor, Terry Seitz, is different than any of Jasper’s previous mayors in that he has a vision for the future growth of the City of Jasper – the…

Obama has long nursed a hatred of Israel as reflects his early indoctrination by leftist parents and grandparents and later in the church of anti-Semite Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and PLO mouthpiece Rashid Khalidi were also important influences in his formative years. Obama has demonstrated his contempt for the Jewish people from…
We at Freedom Makers of Dubois County wish to point out a very important issue which we strongly believe in, fiscal conservatism. How should city and county government taxes be spent? Recently, there has been a lot of public discussion regarding Jasper’s Library-Arts complex, Jasper Cabinet Building potential uses, and The Parklands. Huntingburg has the…
