Thelma Grimes’ Aug. 11 editorial, “Cough it Up,” was a breath of fresh air. Between the legally suspicious antics of the new school board, the silly battles between the commissioners, not to mention the lack of empathy and care for fellow citizens by refusing to mask, while ridding us of our much-needed health department, it has been incredibly embarrassing to live in Douglas County. Someone finally said what needed to be said. Thank you!
