Observations...

Kudos to the Miami News-Record…the nice folks at FEMA tried to unload several dozen of those camper trailers that had been stored in Hope, Ark for use in Miami for flood victims. We guess FEMA figured that nobody in northeast Oklahoma watched TV last July when "60 Minutes" did a story on the fact that the trailers might have formaldehyde in them, causing people to get sick. But the News-Record reminded some FEMA people and the Miami government officials said "no thanks" until some tests can be run, which would cost $2500 per trailer. Why wouldn't FEMA go to the manufacturer of the trailers and demand construction details. As for when the tests will be run, and how, FEMA does not yet have answers. Meanwhile, the flood victims remain homeless. Great job, Brownie…The Grove Sun Daily is running a series of articles on the seven candidates for County Commissioner, District 2. Pay attention, voters! Would you trust some of these candidates to manage a $4.1 million budget? The Democrat primary is Aug. 14 and there are about 3,000 Grove voters who will be affected, out of the 7,000 in the district. None of the candidates are from Grove. Judging by their photos, many of them have been showing up for dinner regularly…
