Time for little 'housecleaning'
By SKEET CATHEY Jasper

Once again the people in the Jasper area are to be overwhelmed by stupidity. The loss of the McDonald tournament will be disaster for merchants in the Jasper area and a real blow to the reputation of Jasper as a whole. Where in the world are we getting the people that are running (ruining) the city and county government.

It is time for the citizens of Jasper and the merchants in the Jasper area to stand up and request, NO, DEMAND, that city support Bob Sealey and the tournament and return the hotel and motel tax revenues to the Chamber of Commerce who had the good of Jasper as their main goal. It appears that we are going back to the days of 30 years ago when the "old clique" in Jasper did everything they could to discourage any growth. Maybe it is time for another housecleaning.
