Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office has done the citizens of Indianola a continued disservice.
For a year and a half, the AG's office has failed to effectively prosecute and resolve its civil demands against former Aldermen Ruben Woods, Marvin Elder and Sam Brock.
The AG filed its suit against the three aldermen in October 2024, following State Auditor Shad White's summer 2024 demands against them for their role in the alleged illegal $38,900 payout to Spencer Construction.

For fifty years Pentagon planners, whose job it is to analyze risk and threats around the globe, have concluded year after year that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the worst possible scenario to confront - but it never happened – until now! The world is now witnessing firsthand what scared the military analysts. When big flows of oil and gas are interrupted it doesn’t take long to disrupt economic activity. Disrupt it long enough and the world economy grinds to a crawl. The fog of war is still thick. The fog of resolution is thicker still. How does this situation end?

Ink, trust and the people who make it possible

So let’s say it plainly.
This newspaper exists because of you.
Not because of fancy presses or glowing screens. Not because of editors who think they know something.It exists because of the city’s, county’s, businesses and citizens support.
