To the Editor,

I want to compliment you and your staff on the excellent Mexico Ledger that you are producing. It is so wonderful to have a newspaper that is legible, great dark print, wonderful color and full of news that is of interest to the community.

It warms my heart to read all of the local news and events that are in the Mexico Ledger now. I am hoping more and more people subscribe to the Mexico Ledger and continue to put ads in your paper. I want you to succeed.

Published by admin on Wed, 04/07/2021 - 8:51am

To the Editor,

There is currently a lot to talk about wind turbines in Audrain County. We, as citizens of Audrain County, need to do our research on the negative impact wind turbines have on a community. We can not just stand by and say nothing until it’s too late to share our concerns.

Published by admin on Wed, 04/07/2021 - 8:51am

To the Editor,

OATS Transit is closely watching proposed state legislation that, if passed, would allow concealed-carry permit holders to lawfully bring firearms on public transportation. It raises serious concerns not only for the safety on our buses but also our funding as a private, non-profit transportation provider.

Letter to the Editor: Vital bible

Published by admin on Wed, 01/13/2021 - 8:12pm

The Holy Bible. Most people in the United States have heard of this most important book and many have at least one in their home. The question is, what makes this book so important; so special? What makes this book so vital to our lives?

One answer is that the Bible contains the words of God, the words of life. It is through reading, studying and obeying the teachings found in the Bible that we find eternal life in Jesus.

Vaccine speed

Published by admin on Wed, 01/13/2021 - 8:11pm

Being a senior citizen, I am greatly concerned about an issue related to the speed of inoculating citizens with Covid-19 vaccines. Missouri has not been in the forefront of speedy vaccinations. We need real speed.
Vaccinations will not be as fast as everyone says.

Letter to the Editor: First Responders

Published by admin on Wed, 01/13/2021 - 8:09pm

We all see them rushing to someone’s need.They are available to help when we need help the most.

I had my first experience with them on December 24th. These people I have seen going to someone else’s aid came to mine that day. A first responder arrived and was excellent. Two others also gave their time that day. The ambulance attendants came and they gave me expert treatment. They all helped me feel calmer and in good hands. Then at the Emergency Room I found some more people in our community who are invaluable to all of us.

Letters to the Editor: Find God’s target

Published by admin on Sat, 11/21/2020 - 3:10pm

Imagine a barn covered on the outside by many targets and imagine an arrow in the center of each one. There has been such a barn.

A comment was made to the owner of the barn that he was very good at target practice. The owner of the barn replied that this had been done by a young man who had first shot the arrows that were on the barn and then had painted the targets around them.

Editor,

I respectfully request that Congress pass the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act, H.R. 5434/S. 2602, in 2020. The bipartisan RPM Act protects the right to convert an automobile or motorcycle into a racecar used exclusively at the track. to be used exclusively on the racetrack.

Wrong to sell farmland to foreign corporations

Published by admin on Mon, 11/02/2020 - 8:45am

Dear Editor,

I am an independent, full-time, traditional family farmer and I grew up on a Missouri Century Farm. My ancestors moved to America mid-1700s and have been in Callaway County nearly 200 years. My family and I farm to help others.

We support our community, county, state, and country. Like our ancestors, we are protective caretakers of the land for future generations. At the age of 81, I am shocked that anyone would support selling American and Missouri farmland to foreign corporations. This is wrong!
