Common Sense
Kudos to Fort Thomas officials on two common sense initiatives, which ended up saving citizen tax dollars. The City Council voted against a citizen’s request to re-join the Campbell County Cable Board. I can see how public access shows can add to the community, but I applaud the decision to keep priorities aligned and the […]
