Lloyd still looking out for third district
How great it was to read the letter this Aug. 14 from former congresswoman Marilyn Lloyd. She helped my cousin in getting he and his wife Social Security for his disability. It saved their lives. This is just one of many things her 20 years of service represented.After being elected to Congress she went to Washington, not as a Democrat, but as a representative of all the people in the Third District. Upon reading her letter, I see that she still remains concerned for the district’s welfare.
She was elected for 10 terms and states it was an honor to represent the Third District. Well said Congresswoman, but may I say: It was our good fortune to have the honor of being represented by you.

Obama omits energy efficiency in speech
It’s an exciting day when the President of the United States comes to town. If his proposed plan to “create good jobs that pay good wages in durable industries” came to pass, there would be even better days. How to get there is, of course, the challenge.
But when the president was talking about energy, he neglected to mention energy efficiency–one proven way to create good paying jobs. Bonus: energy efficiency and use of renewable sources help avoid power produced from dirty coal and unsafe nuclear plants that spoil our air and health.
