| Letter: Pass along the bill to the prison |
I believe in accountability. Why are not the expenses of hunting for and capturing the three escaped convicts - Renwick, Province and McCluskey - billed to the private firm responsible for running the prison?

You're either with us or against us. Sound familiar? You can't help but notice the divisiveness that permeates the political conversations of the day.

| Good intentions gone really bad |
You own a business, maybe a restaurant. You've got a lot to worry about. You have to make sure the food is safe and tastes good, that the place is clean and appealing, that workers are friendly and paid according to a hundred Labor Department and IRS rules.

I see that they captured that couple that has been on the run for the past three weeks. Now the taxpayers will have to pay for their housing and room and board and also for their trials.

I attended the dedication of the new firefighters memorial on Saturday and was impressed with the turnout. The memorial is "awesome," to quote my long-time friend, Chief Chuck Osterman. He's right - it is hard to find another word to describe it.

I have heard complaints about county government officials since I started covering the county almost four years ago. Some of the complaints have been serious, others more run of the mill, but nothing that I found particularly unusual in my experience as a reporter.
