Speak Out 5/17/12

Go on, move 'em to P.Bluff

Yes, I'd like to speak out about the article in today's paper: We'll be Mules not Royals." I think if this person is so against the new building they need to take their kids and move them to Poplar Bluff if they want to be Mules. I have nothing against Poplar Bluff at all, but I want our kids stay in Twin Rivers. This person, I have no idea if it's just ignorance or what the problem is, but they need to take their kids out of this school and move 'em to Poplar Bluff. Thank you.

Why no trust

in management

This is for the plant manager at Briggs & Stratton. I have no doubt that the recent layoffs that took place were motivated by corporate, but the implementation is all on you, plant manager, and basically you told us a different story for each shift. I guess you figured that would cover all the bases, but in fact most of us feel like we were lied to and the truth will out. I mean, that's fine. You threw a lot of good people under the Briggs & Stratton bus so to speak and that's fine, but again, I say, the truth will out. I did want to make one last comment. You've got no credibility. You have no integrity left. Just don't ask us again, why we don't trust management?

Enforce the

city's codes

Please print this. I think Poplar Bluff needs a new code enforcement. The 1000 block of Hart St. is a mess. Grass has grown up. Yards is messy. Cars are parked on the side of the road where you can't get out of driveway and we need somethin' done about it.
