  Editor:
  At The public information meeting on March 10, the architectural firm hired by the Board of Supervisors presented a slide show presentation regarding the proposed $15.4 courthouse square annex.

• ATV law will require helmets, safety course

  Editor:
  To little fanfare, by 2010 Mississippi had met its five year goal of decreasing highway traffic deaths by 10% two years early. A major part of that decrease was enacting a Primary Seatbelt law in 2006 and the public education campaign about the new law, “Click It or Ticket.”

• November 3 message was loud and clear, but Obama refuses to listen

  Editor:
  President Obama knows the message November 3 said, but he is not deterred from implementing his agenda through agencies and bureaucratic appointees. The name czar for some of these appointees does not fit in with the lexicon of American liberties. I canot fathom why there is a constitutional right of agencies and unelected officials to have the power of Congress. If this is not challenged, nullified, and stopped our liberties will vanish and the execution will wield totalitarian control over our lives.

  Editor:
  Diabetes in Mississippi is an epidemic. Current estimates look like this: 351,000 Mississippians with diabetes; only 234,000 have been officially diagnosed. That leaves 117,000 people — a full third of the total — who have diabetes but do not yet know it.
