by Tom Montgomery Editor
When it comes to mailing in ballots for the Tuesday, Nov. 4, general election, area residents would be wise to heed the saying, “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late.” That’s according to Tuscola County Clerk Jodi Fetting, who says she’s encouraging voters to get their ballots in as early as possible in order to avoid delays in mail delivery left in the wake of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) cuts in recent weeks. Those cuts were ordered by new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, an appointee of President Donald Trump. DeJoy’s administration has been criticized for significantly slowing mail delivery across the country via a number of cost-cutting measures, including taking some high-speed letter sorters (machines that can sort CASS CITY Elementary School second grade teacher Emily Baur wel - about 270,000 pieces of mail per hour) out of commission, reducing post office operating hours across several states, cutting overtime for comes students and helps them make lunch choices Monday morning as postal workers and removing a number of the service’s iconic blue letter collection boxes, all in the name of restructuring.

PAGE FOUR CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2020 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN Final hurdle is cleared in state hospital project
by Mary Drier For the Chronicle
The passage of a proposal on the Indianfields Township ballot during the August election should be the last hurdle for construction of a new psychiatric hospital in Tuscola County. The ballot issue asked township voters to grant a 30-year irrevocable limited franchise from the city of Caro to provide water to the Caro Center. A proposed deal was crafted last spring under terms specified by Michigan Public Act 425, which permits an intergovernmental transfer of property by contract to take effect in a much speedier time frame than annexation. Voter approval sealed the deal to extend a municipal water line 1.9 33 citations in three hours miles from the city of Caro to the Caro Center state psychiatric hospital located in Wahjamega.
