Letters

Irreplaceable time

I would like to respond to one specific item regarding the comments about Citrus Memorial hospital made by Carolyn Mitchell of Inverness in the “letters to the editor” section of the Chronicle’s April 14 edition.

I have no knowledge of the facts involved in most of Ms. Mitchell’s comments towards CMH, and she certainly is entitled to her opinion.

Right steps

I believe that Commission Chairman John Thrumston deserves a lot of credit for his work in getting our county $10 million from DOT as part of the federal stimulus plan. We all know that good roads to travel on are a must in our lives in Citrus.

We have such a diverse mix of shopping, restaurants, attractions and public recreation available here that the need to travel across the county is a necessity to enjoy and appreciate the good of Citrus County.

Thanks for the help

We wish to thank all the people who helped us in our time of need due to our house burning down; it was a complete loss. Thank you to our neighbors and friends from Crosbeck, Berrigan, Holiday and Skylark; we especially want to thank Vivian Camp for renting us a furnished house for now. Fran had worked with her at the Homosassa Wildlife State Park. She now manages the subway in Crystal River.

Non-response

Eleven days ago, I e-mailed each of the BOCC members asking a question and requesting that one or more of the members reply with an answer to my question.

In the e-mail I pointed out two pieces of information:

1. An article in the Chronicle reported that the commissioners were in agreement that the reason for the failure of Mr. Schembri was that he did not have experience as a county government employee. This conclusion resulted in a requirement that future candidates must have such experience.
