The parking situation on Main Street in front of the high school was supposed to be a "temporary" solution while the new auditorium was being built. Since the auditorium is now finished, would it be possible for the high school staff and students to discontinue parking there?

Wake up Marion City Council! If you don't step up and start negotiating on the jail project, you might as well move the courthouse to Hillsboro. Then Marion will become a ghost town!

Are taxpayers going to be asked to fund a new jail AND a new hospital? The common man needs a raise.

Marion Warriors fans are asked to "stay off the court" with street shoes at MHS gymnasium. At the Nickerson basketball game this past week, fans weren't very happy to see Nickerson students, players, and fans walk across "our" court with their dirty shoes while our superintendent and activities director calmly stood by and said nothing.

It's not too late, Marion (and Hillsboro). Don't be foolish. If you look at your possibilities and market potential you will see that you can build a combined hospital between Marion and Hillsboro and be a regional medical center. This is what would be best for the area. Set aside rivalry, combine resources, and build us the very best.

Sportsmanship is the name of the game. Fans, especially those from around here, should set better examples for youngsters playing in the REC tournaments.
