If you outsource the du- ties, that's still a new expense; it takes people time to do all the things involved with it. Where's the savings to the pub- lic? Newspapers have offered a compro- mise bill, H723, in acknowledgement that money is tight. It calls for all public notices to go on newspaper websites for free and caps what newspapers can charge for the notices in print. The reluc- tance of some legislators to even talk about reaching an accord is baffling at best. Why would our legislators ignore the compromise? How did the public lose the right to be notified? MOTHER’S DAY: a blessing to all From page 4A | handed the box to him, he unwrapped it, and he instantly forgot whatever had upset him. In his blog, he said that to this day he can't figure out how | knew exactly what to do to make him happy, and why that tool box was on the shelf in his closet, but mostly how | knew: it was exactly the right time to take down the box and give it to him. I learned exactly how real the tools were when the boys cut down a clothes- line pole the next week! As my boys have grown older, | hope they realize that their mother’s love has taught her many lessons. They are far away, in Ohio and South Dakota, but they'll always be my babies. And that’s what Mother's Day means to me! / 5-Piece Patio Set The Sienna 5-piece set boasts relaxing chairs you'll want to stay in forever.
