Thank you

I would like to express my utmost gratitude to all the voters in the ICTC school district for their unwavering support and trust in me. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve as a member of the board of education. Your demonstration of support and encouragement during my campaign journey has been truly inspirational. I am proud of the accomplishments of ICTC, and I will continue to work towards making a positive impact on the lives of our students and the future of our communities through the power of career tech education. Once again, I extend my sincere appreciation for this privilege.

Monte Madewell

Our ‘congressman’ is a joke

Letter to the Editor Our “congressman” is a joke. Brecheen, who takes his orders through “Moscow” Marjorie Taylor Green, is nothing but an acolyte of Vladimer Putin. Apparently it’s OK to back a war criminal like Israel’s prime minister, but it’s a bridge too far to help Ukraine. Even with the stipulation that Ukraine’s help comes as a “loan,” he still refused to get on board.

This spineless wonder can’t stand the thought of displeasing his messiah, Donald J. (for Jesus II) Trump. His excuses and explanations haven’t a trace of anything original. He says things like “the Biden crime family” and “invasion at the border.” A trained chimp could do these things. And the chimp would work for food. We’re paying this clown to bow down to a fascist wanna-be dictator and his master in the Kremlin.

As for his lame excuse that his “constituents’ want him to do something about the border: hey, Brecheen, stop lying. Just admit that you’d NEVER vote to help Ukraine and their civilian men, women, and children without Trump’s approval. And Trump will never do that because he worships Putin. Next time, why don’t you ask what few smart people there are in this backwater state what they think instead of the hicks in the sticks who see Putin as one of them.

I believe in truth in labeling. So instead of calling the group that Brecheen wasted no time in joining, the Freedom Caucus, let’s call it what it really is: the Fascist Caucus. Because Brecheen, like the rest of its members, spends his time and our money being just that: a FASCIST.

They ALL have innocent Ukrainian blood on their hands.
