In the case of the re-
cent Lexington shut down,
which caused two citizens
to be laid off and created
a dangerous predicament
for the town as Oregon
heads into wildfire season,
council members Beard and
Thompson would be wise to
start issuing apologies in-
stead of blame. They should
also be sure to put the next
budget meeting into their
calendars now with a few
alerts, or at least tie a string
around their fingers. In case
you missed it councilmen,
that meeting is set for July
9 at 7 p.m., Lexington Town

Quit badmouthing
town and mayor
To the editor:
Dear Dave (Sykes),
It is very sad how you
keep badmouthing our town
of Lexington and Mayor
Kemp. Too bad you don’t
tell the truth and the real
story of what happens at
meetings. What about Will
Lemmon and all his yelling,
that was not in your paper,
now was it?
I remember us having
a mayor that was a lawyer
in the past and you did the
same thing to us then. Then
she had a talk with you and
it stopped.
Why don’t you just
stay away from our town
and leave us alone. How
can you even call yourself
a Christian, you are just like
the Pharisees in the Bible?
You and your sidekick,
Bobbi Gordon, are acting
just like the evil Democrats.
