Last November, Carroll voters expressed a clear desire for change. Three of the five contested supervisor races were won by challengers, and the challengers won by a remarkable average margin of 25 percent, while the two contested incumbents who were re-elected had just 8 percent margins.
With the reconstituted board seated, Carroll citizens can only hope that their message was heard.

Our approval rating for Congress is at its lowest in our history. Our representatives and corporations are leading us in a race to the bottom.
Consider the fact that we have fallen from number one in education to 15th. Education is crucial to a democracy’s success.

We seem concerned with ourselves as parents and grandparents and less concerned about our children.
As we age, the regrets we have yet to confront will not compare to those we are forced to live with each day.
The past is irreversible. We cannot erase the past from our minds, happy or sad as it may be.
Regrets make the past and present, unpleasant. Regrets originate from intentional choices we have made. We should learn from bad choices that yield regrets.

I thought Bill Carrico went into politics to help bring jobs to area. Seems to me he still wants to be in the state police.
I believe there are more pressing issues to be dealt with than the one about mopeds on the highway.
Mr. Carrico’s Senate Bill 333 isn’t helping anyone except the police and the state.
If someone wants to ride a moped, let them ride. It doesn’t bother me to see them on the highway.
Let’s be real, Bill. What highway has a 35-miles-per-hour speed limit, unless it’s in town?
