So I decided to spend a little time on the Allen County Government website today. Paula Hughes says that they have social networking under control.

According to this morning’s Political Notebook: The statement doesn’t mention that Doden bought a condominium from Laurie Doden, his sister, last month, giving him a [...]
An interesting debate has started between a few of my friends and I wanted to bring you all into the fray! Marlin Stutzman, our recently elected congressman from the 3rd district, most likely voted for himself this past Tuesday. However, his name is not “Marlin”…it is “Marlyn” on his birth certificate. In order to get [...]
Our new “old’ Senator has decided, AFTER he won election, to actually purchase property in the state of Indiana. Better late than never!
