To the Editor: I’m writing in support of Tiffany Maiuri’s candidacy for Franklin County Commissioner for District #1.  We need change in Franklin County governance, and we need it badly.  We need commissioners who will be responsive to community needs, respectful of county employees, able to balance fiscal responsibility with wise investment and most importantly, […]

To the Editor: I encourage each eligible voter to choose our own Scott Landry on November 3 to continue to represent our community.
