We have no idea if there is an interest. But we won't know unless we ask. And we are going to start doing that on Monday.

many homes were rebuilt right after Camille in the late '60s and '70s when the codes weren't that great. A lot of them were poorly constructed again.

Nature is sending us messages. The idea of repeatedly throwing federal dollars at rebuilding the infrastructure in some of these places is crazy. There are certain areas where we simply should retreat.

I have been doing hurricane research for the better part of 20 years now, and there was nothing unusual to me about any of the satellite imagery of Katrina, ... It's laughable to think it could have been manmade.

This announcement isn't a surprise to most of us here in Fort Wayne. At the same time, that doesn't minimize the impact on this community.

It was a good win for the girls, a great game played by both teams.

It's time to clean up city streets and also educate young people not to chuck trash and cigarette butts out their car windows.

I don't know if we've had (a job loss) this big in our five years.

Colleges are going to see Plainfield's an accredited school and say, 'Kids going there are learning what they need to know,'

Great defense and good pitching led to the low scoring between both teams.

The kids could see through the glass atrium into the ballroom where naked people were dancing. There were exposed breasts, thongs and see-through dresses on women who were not wearing any underwear.
