Do you have something to say? Say it here.

In a couple days, we're going to launch a blog that will feature anyone and everyone in the community with something to say. Think of it as an uber-letter to the editor. We're planning to call it "Blog for a day."

Responsive government isn't something you can change overnight.  It's a cultural type thing that has to be pushed consistently - and not just when an election is around the corner.  (That's actually when you should be watching out for the phoneys.)

This past week was another pretty good week. I weighed in May 4 at 226 pounds. I'm confident that by the end of June, which is the six-month mark, I will be down 50 pounds.

Cleveland vs. Atlanta (Cavs up 2-0): Like the Galápagos Hawk, the Atlanta Hawks are an endangered species.

Sandusky isn’t a very big city. But ever since I began working here in late 2004, I’ve been surprised at how often Sandusky pops up in movies and in books. Maybe people just like the name.
