Zakary Kriener has been a wonderful addition to the Ossian Bee. Several friends and neighbors besides Bob and I have begun to look for his writings as soon as the paper arrives. He makes his article interesting from beginning to end, writes about a variety of topics and from various perspectives. What a treasure the paper has in him! Congrats to the paper and to him.

Blessings,

Judy Alford

To the editor:

Last week, I issued a call for a special session to overturn Governor Branstad’s $56 million school funding veto in order to make educating our kids a top priority again.

This means that [according to the Legislature’s nonpartisan legislative agency] North Fayette Community School District will lose $90,780 and Valley Community School District will lose $43,940 for the upcoming school year. [Editor’s note: According to NFV Supt. Duane Willhite, North Fayette will lose $93,121 and Valley, $45,073.]  If we don’t take action, school leaders all over Iowa have told us it will result in larger class sizes, fewer quality teachers, and higher property taxes.

Our schools have been in this school funding crisis for almost two years now. Enough is enough.
