  • Guest Opinion: Legislative Report

    May 12, 2021

    Greetings from Home! This Legislative Session was different than other sessions in a couple different ways. First, there was concern over the Covid virus that originated in China. It was reasonable, at first, to be scared of it because we didn’t know much about it. But, by the time the session started we were pretty familiar with the virus, knowing it didn’t seriously affect very many people who didn’t have an underlying health condition. We understood that it was a lot like the flu. It was amazing to me that the flu was pretty much nonex...

  • Behind the Wheel

    Lois Stephens|May 12, 2021
