Onions to …

• public servants proposing a “best-that-money-can-buy” cold beer law.
• the mobile home court that collects lot money but can’t afford to provide any kind of storm shelter.
• our elected state officials who care more about alcohol sold in gas stations than the massive gas-tax legislation that will hinder the economy and hurt Hoosier families.
• people who put so much effort, attention and media coverage toward fighting heroin addiction, when other types of drug addicts are viewed as lower-class residents who are ignored and forgotten.
• elected city officials for giving themselves credit for a businesses’ recent expansion and a $17.5 million investment that they had nothing to do with.
• those who don’t remember the business that moved from California to Columbus in 2012 without expensive taxpayer junkets overseas.
