Today's Opinions

It is hard to believe that summer break is over.  The neighborhoods are now mostly quiet with children tucked away in their classrooms ready to learn.

Teachers have a new group of students to motivate and inspire.  Amid all the academics that are covered in the schools, many other lessons are learned as well - some good, some bad. 

Life lessons - you know them well.  Those things that shape who you are and some that even change your path forever. 

For years, we have advocated more planning than zoning. However, when reality sets in, the opposite is true.

Maybe heeding some of our advice or maybe thinking outside of the normal governmental box, Bullitt County Judge/Executive Melanie Roberts wants to hire a planner.

Great idea. Wish we had thought of it 20 years ago.

The problem is -- and always has been -- money. To hire someone with a degree will take more than the $39,000 set aside in the annual budget.

Maybe the economy would make filling the position more possible. We don’t know.
