President Trump has instituted a “zero tolerance” policy at the border with Mexico in an effort to keep out anyone that comes to this nation for valid reasons. No, they a...

Imagine looking at television, playing a video game, or reading the bible at home and being shot by a stray bullet. On Monday June 18, a bullet entered a residence wounding a 10 year old boy around 1:00am in the 1300 block of...

There is a struggle for the soul of Monroe Transit between the city and the working men and women who drive and maintain the buses, as a line seemed to be drawn in the sand. At one time, the level of service by Monroe Tran- sit was good enough to earn a national award back in 2008.
