What adjustments-will owners make?
DEAR EDITOR: As the president of a small business in our valley, I am very concerned about the possibility of a mandated sick leave policy in the state of Ohio. My company currently pays 100 percent of the health, dental and vision care policies for my employees and their families. We have $50,000 of life insurance, three personal days per year that can be used for any reason, three weeks of vacation that can be taken in 4-hour increments, 100 percent vesting in our 401(k) plan on day one, along with a company match and company paid short and long term disability insurance. All employees have at least an associate’s degree. We are one of those companies encouraging talented people to stay in our area by providing good jobs with fair wages and benefits. Like all companies, we have a budget for covering our employee costs.

Citizens must take stand against crime
DEAR EDITOR:
There’s no reason why these rotten people doing all the robberies out here should live in our community.
There’s a place for them — prison. They don’t care what they do to others.
