I am a senior living in Bowling Green. I don't mind my candidate losing an election, as long as I know the election has been fair and votes accurately counted.

I was most disturbed by the Sept. 29 news article where the Court of Appeals ruled against Don Lowe by essentially saying there was no injury committed toward Lowe from the city of Bowling Green and Inspector Maxwell back in 2002. It appears to a non-attorney person like myself that the lega… Read more

I am 88 years old and I have never seen our nation in such a mess as we are in now. Joe Biden can't be that ignorant. He has got to be in China and Russia's hip pocket or he hates President Trump so bad he is willing to destroy our nation. Whatever his motive, he is giving our nation away. Read more
Trump didn’t do a single positive thing Read more

I am yet to hear who will be running as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat soon to be presumably vacated by Sen. Rand Paul.

When a business makes demands whose subject is my person, they infringe upon that most fundamental of rights – the sovereignty of my body. I will not stand for the encroachment of personal freedom that I am seeing today, and it is for this reason that I strongly believe that restaurant emplo… Read more
Ashley Bratcher was shown holding a sign (front page photo, Aug. 11) that reads "Our Kids Can't Breathe."

Short and simple: If reparations are to be paid, fairness and equity require that those who owned slaves make the reparations. My request is that Sen. Rand Paul or Rep. Brett Guthrie submit a bill for registered Democrats to pay reparations using the federal income tax form check-off box. Read more
I don't know who is responsible for the improvements made to Bowling Green roads, but whoever that person may be, the marvelous job they've been doing to our roads deserve our applause and a significant pay raise, if our city coffers can afford it. Thanks a lot. Read more

I heartedly agree with the view in the "Our Opinion" piece from the July 2 editorial page. Gwen Berry should have been so thrilled to be able to represent our country in the Olympic Games. Instead, she showed nothing but disrespect for our flag and our country. She does have every right to p… Read more
The summer camping program at the Kentucky Sheriffs' Boys & Girls Ranch officially opened to campers for its 46th season June 14. After a summer off because of COVID, we are excited to be back up and serving. The camp runs throughout June and July, serving both boys and girls on alternat… Read more

I wish the Daily News would start letting people comment on stories online. I used to enjoy reading and commenting myself on occasion. Maybe you could require people to comment using their real names instead of screen names. That might make the conversation a little more civil. Just a thought. Read more
An April 23 Daily News headline said: “City of Bowling Green celebrates Arbor Day by giving away free trees.” City workers distribute 13,000 trees with the goal to “encourage city residents to plant more trees.” “Trees are essential to the environment, according to city arborist Jared Weaver.” Read more
The Warren County school board is using our tax money to fight a veto-proof law designed to help low-income students – and it needs to stop. Read more
The recent article "Educators decry limiting classroom discussions of racism" left me shocked and saddened. It seems our local superintendents desire the ability to decide if our precious children are indoctrinated into the Godless teachings of Marxism (critical race theory). Read more
