Scott County Commissioner Elmer Witwer voted against a liquor license because “I don’t vote for anything pertaining to alcohol,” he said. “It’s my personal belief — I’m opposed to (alcohol).”

This raises the question: Are elected officials supposed to follow the wishes of their constituents or are they supposed to vote their conscience?

So, what do you want to talk about? Downtown? Police Departments? Roodhouse? Something at the paper? (To name a few evergreen topics).

It’s your call. You’ll have to register to make comments, and I’ll have to OK them. I’ll try to check at least once a day (although some days …).

You’ll have to register to comment (although you can read to your heart’s content without registering). That will take an e-mail address. No one else will see the e-mail.
