He has worked hard to bring jobs to Erie County. He has reached out to Huron, Ottawa and Lorain counties to find better ways to work together.

I supported Bill Monaghan in his first term politically, financially and personally. It is time to put a man with real integrity in the county commission. We need Sam Artino serving our needs. Please vote for Sam Artino in the Democratic primary and restore some integrity to our party. Les Hall, Castalia

The Nov. 4 election asks you to deploy the best person for the task of stabilizing our county resources and capture momentum in developing NASA, the U.S. 250 corridor and the expansion of sewer lines as a springboard for jobs.

Primary elections. Yawn. That's what most of us seem to think, anyway; Americans' dismayingly low voter turnouts are even lower for primary contests.
