Library needs more funding
To The Daily: The opinion article by Wayne Holliday concerning the Decatur Public Library pointed out the sad history of funding for the library. Our public officials go to considerable effort to lure new businesses and families to Decatur, but the poor funding of the library sends a different message to the management of the companies that would provide good-paying jobs.
A library is an integral part of the educational and intellectual life of a community. What does it say about Decatur and Morgan County to have a library so underfunded for so long? Is a city that can't afford a decent library the kind of place where these families would want to live? A good library is just as important as sports facilities and jogging trails when quality of life matters.

This city can't even half way fix our streets.
Rebecca, you obviously don't drive around town much. there are always paving crews working somewhere in town. the problem is there are more cars on the roads causing wear and tear on the roads than the pavers can keep up with. And who do you think pays for those roads to be repaved?
