Building department would add unnecessary rules

I haven't written anything for a long time. I was told if I couldn't say something nice, just don't say anything at all. I have been quiet but I can't keep still forever. There have bee a lot of things I was going to write about but just didn't do it.

First, the building department. I have never liked rules and regulations, so I don't think we need any more rules. I would just mean more regulations and cost. We don't need a building department. The county has don't very well without one for eight years. Let's keep it that way.

I read the news of record most every day, but I really don't know why it doesn't tell much. So much of the time, the names are withheld or it was say unknown injury. And I have to wonder, why some names are withheld and others aren't. I'll close for now.
