Two weeks ago I made the mistake of thinking that I could zip off a piece about Joe Biden, and it would a be a simple task that I could sum up in less than 1,000 words; I was wrong. We pick up from last week’s Part 2 of listing out Biden’s long list of…

Editorial by the Alabama Press Association   Public notices serve a crucial function in keeping residents and taxpayers informed about the activities of governments.

  It never fails that during the weekend I’ll have a pretty good idea of what I want to write about, but something else always pops its head to change my mind. This time I’ve changed topics three times, and, if I didn’t have to get this done on Monday this week, it would probably…
