OPINIONS/EDITORIAL Losing 1 of the good guys By Jeff Hovind I said it before, and I’ll say it again. This guy has guts. By now, everyone knows the story of Rep. Jeff Wood, who’s been arrested three times within the last year for drunk driving. This makes a total of five OWI arrests for the Chippewa Falls Independent, not to mention that little marijuana charge that was tagged on to one of his recent arrests. An open letter from the Fair Board:
We would like to take this opportunity to respond to some of the information that has appeared in the newspaper in recent weeks regarding the Sam Darduk matter. It is unfortunate that this matter has escalated to the point where the Lincoln County Board of Supervisors has become involved. We sincerely hope this matter will be resolved soon. OBITUARIES
