Terrorism: Boston Marathon explosion; 3 killed, 130 wounded. Undefined as terrorism: Texas Adair fertilizer plant explosion; 14 killed, $100 million in damages.

Crown Point still has a few intersections without a gas station. Let’s get them built. Wednesday night I sent an email to the Gary Street Department advising them about a dozen potholes making a tank trap out of a Gary street. Thursday morning the city …

It’s encouraging to know that the airport decisions will be made by people who have educational backgrounds as well as educational or aviation experience. I believe we can fly. I thank the Lord for allowing Indiana to become a right-to-work state. My husband just got …

They need to rename Valparaiso “Little Chicago” for more reasons than just gas prices. I’d like to give kudos to the Hobart Board of Public Works for taking care of rundown houses. That’s more than I can say for Porter County. I just got my …

So now the rocket scientists at Capitol Hill are messing with the Internet regarding sales tax? Just a matter of time before Internet will be abandoned. I give it five years from now. Tell me what type of welfare a person gets who works 60 …

What are the plans for the north-south runway at the Gary/Chicago airport? To the person that said good luck selling a home in Hebron or Knox due to huge class sizes and no extracurricular activities. Well, I live in Hebron and my daughter has been …

I wish someone in Hebron would look into a crystal ball and explain to me why 25 to 30 teachers in the Hebron schools don’t even live in the Boone Township school district. I think the people in Hebron showed how smart they are. You’re …

Love the response that the Federal Reserve is responsible for the dramatic rise in the Dow --guess Obama is responsible for everything else. The phrase “Justified Christian Hatred” shows you how people use religion as a weapon. Hatred is hatred, and it is sinful, regardless …

What’s the tea party outrage all about? Why shouldn’t the IRS closely scrutinize applications for tax exempt status? Oops, sorry. I forgot that the tea people think we shouldn’t pay taxes for anything. The Dow being above 15,000 is a big deal for all retired …

We need Central Avenue from Hamstrom Road east repaved. The patching jobs don’t last, and make it worse than ever. Hobart at one time was a strong Republican town. Now the Democrats have taken over, so be happy now you have more taxes to pay. …

So now we are hit by ANOTHER tax in Lake County. I guess the revenue from the boats is just not enough to satisfy our elected bunch of idiots. What do they do with that money anyway? Does anybody else want to see an accounting …

How many taxpayers feel like I do that we are not getting a good return for your tax dollars. How shameful and disgusting that the Star Plaza will allow Ted Nugent to appear on their stage. This man is not only a draft dodger but …

Does anyone else have neighbors that worry more about your yard than theirs? Yard work is not a priority in my life, so kiss off. We all like the giant monuments in Valparaiso on Lincolnway Avenue at the west end and at the east end, …

It doesn’t surprise me that you sold a $15 beer for $120. There’s a sucker born every minute. On my block we don’t have dueling banjos, we have dueling lawn mowers. If one guy cuts his grass, the other HAS to come right out and do …

Is there such a thing as a gay Republican? Stop giving people like Lindsay Lohan the attention they crave. She will either straighten out her life or die, but we don’t need to hear about her court cases and rehab stints every week. I am …
