IDA responds to council’s...

The Grant County Industrial Development Authority does a lot more than people realize, said executive director Wade Gutman.
Gutman is responding to criticism of the IDA during the Nov. 18 Dry Ridge City Council meeting in which the city approved a .75 payroll-tax increase.
When a 1.25 percent payroll tax takes effect on Jan. 1, 2014, employees working in Dry Ridge will be paying: $312.50 if they earn $25,000, $437.50 if they earn $35,000 and $562.50 if they earn $45,000.

Porcupines in the storm

Years ago, a pastor friend of mine did a series of seminary talks titled “Porcupines in the Storm.”

He spoke about how we, meaning we Christians, are like porcupines — prickly and sometimes dangerous, especially to each other.
Porcupines actually have soft hair, but on their backs, sides and tails the soft hair is mixed with sharp quills; Africa’s crested porcupines have quills nearly a foot long.
