The car inside is strewn with personal items including a baby seat. These items appeared to be there for while, not just that day. Shame, shame, county. We all wish we had a company car to run our errands and drive our kids around. Are the citizens of Madera County paying for her gas too?!

I am not a “texter” either. My sister-in-law has recently started sending me text messages, which I usually just ignore. Last week she sent me a text that I decided to respond to. She was asking me if I had fun on a recent trip I took to the happiest place on earth to celebrate my birthday with my kids and grandkids. To make a long story short, my response was so unintelligible she wanted to know if it was some kind of secret code. <strong>Tanna Boyd, Madera</strong> I read your editorial on texting, and really can relate.

Wake up people and take responsibility for yourself. If you want to know what is really going on, it is your responsibilty to educate yourself, get involved, go to the meetings yourself about where you live and send your kids to school. Our community needs people to step up, stand up, do things themselves, and stop expecting others to provide to our needs.
