Becker needs

to pay the city

I'm calling in regarding Brian Becker and his fight against the sewer tax. Does anybody stop to think that if he actually paid the money that he owed the city that this may not even be an issue and on the ballot? Just a thought.

Denying

right to vote

Here it is election day and election officials down at Karen West are denying people access to provisional ballots simply because they cannot verify that a person on their records--not following the law in issuing a provisional ballot. My stepson came in, had his driver's license with the correct address on it and they denied him a provisional ballot simply because they couldn't find him in their records. Disenfranchisement? I think so. And when we find out a legal group to handle this matter Butler County will wake up to a very stunning fact.

Nationwide

phone scam

There is a nationwide phone scam going around called the AMMYY scam. Google it if you can. The foreign speaking person says that he is your products service technician and that Microsoft Corp. has asked him to call you because they are receiving a lot of warning alerts coming from your computer. He tells you to press a couple of keys on the keyboard and shows you a file that has all these warnings listed. Then he tells you he can fix it by you just doing a few steps on your computer. If your computer is running a little slow like mine was you may fall for it. I fell for it and downloaded a virus. The Geek Squad at Best Buy said they have had a lot of computers brought in because of this particular scam. Please alert your family and friends. I wish someone had warned me like I'm doing for you.
