  • Reader ‘fired up’ about library tax increase

    Dear Editor:
    After reading the CJ story on tax increases, I was fired up.
    Does the slogan, “Taxed Enough Already” resonate with anyone?

  • Proud of Pulaski standing up to ACLU

    Dear CJ:
    I was born and raised in Pulaski County. Although many good things have come from Pulaski County, I have never been more proud of Pulaski County than when I read about the county standing up to the Kentucky ACLU because of the county wanting to hang the Ten Commandments in the courthouse and being sued over it from the ACLU.

  • Way too hot for some football?

    Dear Editor:
    I am grandparent of a Pulaski County Football Little League Football player and I am upset that they were allowed to play football today with a heat advisory out for the state with 110 heat index and a heat index warning for the state.

  • Electric Bill Shocker

    Dear Editor:
    When the Southeastern Water Company raised their rates people complained, but when South Kentucky RECC put in the new electric meters and their rates skyrocketed, nothing has been said.
    When my electric bill tripled the first month after the “smart meter” were put in at my home, I thought I was charged for the new meter, but was told that was not the case.
    It was that the “smart meters” were just more accurate in reading then the old meters.
    Although the old meter my bill did not vary in readings, except with the new meter my bills varies from $140 to $360 a month.
    That is with only the same things on and nothing extra.
    South Kentucky RECC is asking for a rate increase over and above the high bills. I get it now. If they receive the increase I will not be able to afford it.
    I live on a fixed income; therefore, I will have to turn off my electricity and use candles for light and go back to wood for cooking and heat.

    Thank you.
