Hello,
Lincoln, from Albuquerque, N.M.
1-30-01
To the editor:
I
would like to wish your newspaper a happy anniversary. Hope you
have many more to come.
I
was saddened to see the Scully Building burned. This was one of my
favorite buildings. The popcorn shop was the only place to go to
get a good bag of popcorn. The pet shop was where our dog Dusty
got all his toys to play with while we were in town for the
Lincoln Art and Balloon Fest. These stores and the building will
be missed. Hopefully the stores can be relocated, as they are my
favorite stops in downtown Lincoln.
We
will see everyone in August.

Congrats
on cyberspace news
1-30-01
To
the editor:
Jan,
to you and the rest of LDN staff, I can say (for myself) that this
has been a very informative year for those who surf to LDN. Seeing
the good things you have done, the articles you print and not
being afraid to print letters from those who wish to express their
opinion, I, for one — and I know there are many more — wish
you continuing success into this age of cyberspace news.
Up-to-date reporting and a fair and balanced attitude with no bias
means so much these days. People may disagree on numerous
subjects, but that does not mean hate is intended, nor does it
mean we can't love our neighbor....
To
you and you staff, my hat is off to you —
C O N G R A T S.

Animals
need adoption
1-30-01
To
the editor:
Thanks
so much for picking up my story about the adoption of Iris.
I feel it is important to get positive stories in the media about
animal adoptions. There are far too many animals waiting for
homes they may never get.
I
love the photos you post on your site of the dogs and cats at our
local shelter. Keep up the good work.

Present
system lets us 'vote the rascals out'
1-25-01
To
the editor:
We
support electing Logan County Board members at large — our
present system — over the proposed system of electing members
from districts. We believe changing to the district system would
promote and foster non-accountability by allowing elected
officials to vote and act on issues vital to the interest of the
public, yet be subject only to the voters in their own districts
and not to the rest of the registered voters in Logan County.
Under
the present system of electing county board members at large, all
of the registered voters of Logan County have the right and
opportunity to vote the rascals out if the elected officials do
not perform to our standards. Under the proposed district system,
your vote, along with the vast majority of the other registered
voters of Logan County, would be denied, because we would only be
allowed to vote for or against a candidate from our district.
We
are equally concerned with the prospect of the voters of Logan
County giving up our right to select each and every Logan County
Board member if we change to the district system.
Representation
without accountability could reflect in little or no
representation at all. Our only control over elected public
officials comes from the threat of voting the rascals out.
Districts would prevent the majority of the voters from making
this happen.

Pictures

To
the editor:
Thank
God for people like Fak, and kudos to whoever was responsible for
posting the JPG images on your site. Pictures of the people and
the community are what is necessary to keep us coming back to your
site and supporting your advertisers.
Love
your site,
Clint
Excellent
improvements
1-24-01
To
the editor:
We
are impressed with the recent improvements made to your home page.
We believe it is more user friendly and are equally pleased with
the new options being offered. We also appreciate your efforts to
offer the news in an unbiased manner.
We
believe Lincoln Daily News is the best-kept secret in
Lincoln, Ill.
Keep
up the good work.
Best
wishes,
Les
