In 1992, 30 years ago, Tammy Zywicki was driving to Grinnell College in Iowa when she went missing. They found her dead body in Missouri and they found her car abandoned on I-80 near Utica. The killer is still at large; now only God knows who did this, where to find the evidence to prosecute and what the motive was. And he’s not telling anyone. Shame on him.

For those looking for MeTVPlus since Comcast removed it from their channel lineup, get an inexpensive digital TV tuner (DTV) and amplified antenna, then tune to digital channel 48.4. It is an over-the-air broadcast channel and free! Cartoons, Three Stooges, and more great classic TV, all still on MeTV+, and free!

So Bob from Frankfort, countless people have lost their lives to gun violence, but your main concern is that the Democrats will take your guns away! What a thoughtless, selfish, thing to worry about when innocent lives are lost and their loved ones are left to grieve for an eternity. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I’m not surprised. I’ve read your previous comments.

After watching the news coverage on all these horrible floods and devastating weather events. I just want to personally thank all Republicans for blocking anything to do with a climate change. I hope you can’t sleep at night.

The Italian community should be marching on city hall. If removing the statues of Columbus isn’t an act of discrimination, I don’t know what is. I wonder if there were any Italian Americans on the panel that decided not to replace the statues. I guess the next step is to cancel the Columbus Day parade.

Even if inflation ended immediately, many of today’s prices for necessities are unlikely to come down significantly. Combine that with big company layoffs, a housing market slowdown, record personal debt and consumers cutting back on unnecessary spending. The White House can call it whatever they want, but semantics will not change what is already an economic downturn, which is more than likely to get worse before it gets better.

ComEd. They get caught with their finger in the cookie jar. They’re going to give us all a measly almost $5, and then we’re still going to keep paying for it. Not only that, why are we paying delivery charges? How else do they think we’re supposed to get our electric? Same thing with my gas bill. When is enough? Nobody looks out for the people who really work hard to pay their bills. So maybe some day somebody will really look out for us and roll back the prices the way it should be. Thank you.

Frank, Matteson

Well, it looks like Joe Biden and the Democrats and the Liberals are using more tax money, my tax money to pay for student debt. That’s just another way of saying look, I’ll pay your debt as long as you vote for me because I need to keep my job and I’ll spend all the taxpayers money to do it.
