I was excited to read in the July 11 Times about the work being done to save the historic Surplus Building in downtown Kenton. Lately it had been not just an eyesore but a danger to the public.

To the editor: I feel an obligation to respond to the Kenton Times front page story on June 14 about The Health Department advising getting a “jump” on immunizations. I’ve done much soul-searching deciding whether or not to write and submit this letter. It would have been much easier to stay silent. I felt a bit of nudge after reading Dr. Forester’s excellent column in the next day’s Kenton Times.

How in the world has it come to this? We in the 83rd House District have been witness to one of the nastiest and most contentious election cycles I think we have ever seen. An armored car full of money has been spent on negative attack ads.

To the editor: I am writing to encourage all registered voters – Democrat, Republican and non-party affiliated alike – to exercise their right to vote by either voting early at the courthouse or by going to the polls next Tuesday, May 8.
