Position explained
To the editor:
 Last week I wrote a letter about the developments to the main street in the old Stambaugh. This was not to suggest that the city of Iron River had done anything wrong, but it was in frustration of the spending by governments, state and federal on projects, when both state and federal governments are billions in the red.

Let’s say ‘no’
To the editor:
 I would like to inform the citizens of the city of Iron River of the new developments that are about to be passed without a vote or any consideration of the public.

With fingers crossed, shovels and snow blowers primed, we waited for “the” snowstorm of the season to hit our area.
     Once again, Mother Nature fooled us – and we let out a sigh of relief. Oh yes, we knew this was still March and big dumpings of snow was not only a possibility, but a definite reality. Remember last year?

There’s been a piece of legislation “making the rounds” recently that is not only worrisome, but somewhat frightening to Michigan’s governmental units.
     House Bill 4214 would “repeal the Local Government Fiscal Responsibility Act and create the ‘Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act,’ which similarly would provide for the review, management, and control of the financial and other operations of a local government…or a school district.”

Attendance requested
To the editor:
  The scheduled March 3 Governing Board meeting was changed to March 17.  The reason given was the February financial reports would not be ready by March 3.  The dates and times of the Governing Board changes were posted but the Finance Board meetings were not.
