Editor, Daily Press:

I’ve been snooping around the police department, to see how Chief Clay Mahaney is doing in his one month in office.

There is a noticeable difference in the department.

Morale of the officers seems to be on a high, and they are working together in what appears to be a relaxing pace, with less tension and nitpicking. They are all excited about the future and the changes to come.

Chief Mahaney made an excellent choice in selecting Steve Garner as his assistant chief.

He has a lot of input to be an asset to the department.

Mahaney and Garner will be a good team, to enforce the laws and safety for the residents of Tahlequah.

We have fine, dedicated officers, who are working hard for us.

We need more officers to cover our city, so be a little patient when you call if they can’t respond pronto.

If folks would put their car keys in their pockets before they leave their autos, our officers could answer priority calls, instead of spending their time opening doors for locked-in keys.

It does happen, so be more aware when you leave your auto.

So, let’s stand behind out police department and appreciate our officers.

Make sure you vote
It’s that time of the year again – time for the school board to extend a two-year contract to three years. It seems the board is much more interested in the job security of [Superintendent] Shannon Goodsell than for the teachers and staff.

Ego influencing justice
Last year’s incident in the jail where inmate Daniel Bosh received significant injuries from what appears to be an attack by a jail employee serves as a reminder that we have flaws in our justice system.

Harnessing talents
Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

Kudos to the City Council
Editor, Daily Press:
Our elected officials showed wise judgment at [last] Monday’s City Council meeting. They chose individualism over collectivism.

Scare tactics on aliens?
Editor, Daily Press:
I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
