Parts of Ohio were settled by veterans of the Revolutionary War. These men were patriots who fought for government by the people and against tyranny.

I am writing to request your support of the two Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District renewal levies on the ballot this May 2nd election.

Republicans in Elida are now in full freakout mode over transgender bathroom issues in schools. One recent letter writer said they would no longer vote for tax levies and encouraged others to do the same.

On April 18, I sat in the center of the auditorium at Elida High School for the school board meeting.

I hope to encourage your vote for the renewal levies for our Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District.

On Nov. 3, 2021, my son, Patrick Archer, was killed at Lima Ford Engine Plant. He is survived by his wife, four children, two stepsons, his mother, brother and sister.

I am expressing my support for the renewal levy. The parks district operates within its means and is fiscally responsible, but parks need to be sustained through maintenance, renovations and additions of new features. The park district is a partner to the community through conservation benefits of habitats and wildlife.

From top to bottom, the Biden administration has called for increasing the taxes on the rich and corporations, paying their fair share.

It’s like a slap in the face when a Vietnam veterans goes into a store, and there are all these products from Vietnam. It’s a communist country that was hostile to the United States. They kept over 600 U.S. prisoners of war that were never released, and our government has done nothing to bring them home.

In early March, I visited Sam’s Club in Lima with my family and saw a gazebo I liked.
