Tecumseh Golden Age Cent

Hope everyone has enjoyed the week of activities related to the Frontier Days Celebration that concludes on Saturday, Sept.

CAPITOL REPORT

This week, I want to cover bills related to two very important topics: State government and state powers.

The Dog Did It

The campervan and its yard tool-laden trailer backed slowly away from the gas pump. I was idling next to it in my 13-year-old Kia Soul waiting for Mr. Right to finish filling the tank.

Tecumseh Golden Age Center

Welcome to the Golden Age Center if you are 60 years of age or older. We welcome visitors to come to look us over. If you do, there will be one person who will welcome you with open arms—Almeda Dyer. Almeda is certainly a blessing to the Center.

Generally Speaking

Since taking office in January, my administration has made it a top priority to combat illegal marijuana grow operations and the criminal organizations that are behind their proliferation.

CAPITOL REPORT

This year, we passed several bills related to public safety that I want to highlight.

Drones, Phones, And Clones

Fewer technologies have advanced as fast as drones. Over a decade ago, I wrote a Letter to the Editor of another newspaper in which I expressed great concern over a government announcement that said a limited number of drones would only be used by universities, law enforcement, and the military.

County Approves $660K In New Equipment For Sheriff ’s Office

The Pottawatomie County Board of County Commissioners approved the purchase of over $660,500 in new equipment for the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, Sept. 11. Six 2024 Ford Expeditions were approved, as well as the funds to upfit each vehicle, totaling $460,178.

Musical Inspirations

RunDMC used to tell me to, “Walk this way…talk this way.” Being an overweight person since puberty… I got pretty used to people telling me how to walk, and for that matter, how to talk (to myself and to others).

Lucky Me

I’m turning 66 soon. You’d think there would be a big whoop-de-doo celebration, but seeing as I celebrate life every day, a party seems redundant. “What do you want for your birthday?” Mr. Right asked on a recent Saturday afternoon amidst one of a plethora of college football games.
