Comment on Weiss re-issues memoir by chrismarchand

Hi Karen. A call to the local bookstore, Novel Ideas, revealed that Wiess’ self-published and self distributed book has sold out locally at this time (which you might be aware of) A representative from the book store said they have suggested yet another printing of the book, though they are unsure of Weiss’ intentions in that regard.
We wish we had a better answer for you.
Perhaps someone might be willing to part with their copy of “A Prison WIthin”?

All tiers of goverment are elected by the people, suposedly for the people. So why do they have to have meetings behind closed doors???? What do they have to hide??? Keep digging CK if you smell a rat.
Have a nice day.

From my perspective of politicians etc.:-
1. It is only the “truth” as they (the politicians) spin it.
2. It will never be fair to anyone except the politician concerned.
3. No, not in the community in general. Only to the friends and colleagues of the politician conerned.
4. Only to the friends and colleagues of the politician conerned.
World wide trend seems to be that all politicians at all levels and sides of politics are all self serving and do not care what local constituents want or need.
Have a nice day.

Why is it that this sounds like it could be my own local council here. They all want more to do less they already have. Is this a world wide council phenomena or something????

Excellent article Chris. In the past you have asked very good questions and having the news media engaged in Town issues is beneficial to everyone. Keep on the story..

Comment on No answers on cause of fatal plane crash at North Spirit Lake by Peter

No answer yet? There needs to be an answer in regards to a simple weather (WX) check, as to whether it was available to the pilot. It’s not fair to ‘common sense’ to speak of anything else if basic WX info was lacking here; specifically, if the’tempo’ (the notice of sudden change in WX) was not available to the pilot while still en-route to that airport. Automatic WX stations that send their data to WX-networks are a bare necessity to aviation.
