I got an "annual report" mailing from the Portage County Sheriff today. It was beyond the pale for several reasons.
As a proud resident of Aurora and a parent of three children who have participated in numerous interscholastic activities, I’ve had the opportunity to observe over 40 high schools in the last five years.
Jon Barber is running for sheriff. This man was fired by Portage County commissioners because he couldn't lead and didn't get along with others — per one of the commissioners that fired him.
As harvest season begins, many of us in the farming community are entering one of the most stressful times of the year. The long hours, unpredictable weather, and financial pressures can take a toll on not only our physical health but also our mental well-being.

Every Portage County voter will have a chance Nov. 5 to say “yes” or “no” to state Issue 1, the proposed constitutional amendment to end gerrymandering. If nothing else, Issue 1 reveals how breathtakingly shameless Republicans have become. In their effort to hold onto power, they’ll say anything.
