MADISON - ST. CLAIR RECORD

Kay Ever heard the old saying, "don't judge a book by its cover?" The same can be said of bills passed in Springfield called "reform."

Dwight Kay With gas prices rising and expected to be near $5 per gallon this summer, I am extremely disappointed the leadership in Springfield voted against gas tax relief.
