Ottawa loses Jefferson Lines bus service
The Jefferson Lines regional bus stop in Ottawa at Wingert’s and later at 1525 S Main was discontinued after the Ottawa City Commission objected to traffic. Art Miller, the local agent, sold few tickets and Miller no longer represents the company. Ottawa lacks public transport including air and rail links, with only an as needed shuttle to Kansas City available. The piece urges a revival or replacement of bus service to improve mobility for residents.

Clinton depicted as tool of big money and failed reform
The column argues that Republicans and financial powers aim to trivialize government and media to expand their influence. It contends Bill Clinton serves as a conduit for Wall Street and Big Tobacco, citing welfare reform and health care efforts as insufficient checks on corporate power, while media focus on scandal harms public discourse. It ends urging readers to consider economic justice and political accountability. The writer also invites letters to George B. Pyle.
