ASK THE FOOL

Saturday, April 29

I read in the April 26 paper that a Republican was running for the 2nd District county commission seat and they also mentioned that there was a Democrat running for the same seat, but they didn't mention that there was another Republican running. Is there another Republican running and, if so, who is it?

<EM>Since the city was involved in leasing the land east of the dam at Clinton Lake for development of the wetland, when was the public made aware that the city was leasing land in the county?

<EM>Why isn't there a dedicated left-turn arrow on the traffic signals at the intersection of Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive?

Is there any way the signal arrow can be turned on? There's one there, but it is never turned on. </EM>
