Carlin Yoder is best candidate for Senate

Carlin Yoder is the best person to become the next state Senator from District 12.

Yoder is a proven leader who has led a reputable Christian school and who owns and runs a small business with his wife. He is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and believes in the same common sense values that we share in Elkhart County. He is a man of integrity who loves his wife and family and never wavers in his conservative positions.

I have known Carlin Yoder for last couple years but what I appreciate about him most is just simply that he is honest. He is what we need more of in Indianapolis where politicians seem to forget where they come from too quickly and where political posturing trumps conviction and integrity. Yoder will be a breath of fresh air and I know we will be proud to call him our state senator.

Yoder has my family’s endorsement because we know we can trust him and count on him to always do what is right for our state and district.

  • READER'S POINT OF VIEW: Punish criminals, not patients

    It is truly gratifying when a bill I author becomes law, and even more gratifying when that law has an immediate and compelling impact on my district and the state of Indiana.

  • Insurance mandate violates religious freedoms

    The Health and Human Services mandate requiring employers to carry insurance that covers contraceptives, including surgical sterilization and abortifacients, requires Christian schools and charitable and medical organizations to violate their conscience or face fines of $2,000/employee. This forces Christian organizations to either close down or violate the mandate.

  • Hypnosis dates to Adam and Eve’s act of sin

    I saw the article on hypnosis in the newspaper and was reminded how far away this generation has fallen from the truth of God’s holy word, the Bible.

  • Writer asks for compassion

    As someone who has a loved one who is on a feeding tube, I’d like to ask you to please be aware when you are out in restaurants and be compassionate when you meet someone who is on a feeding tube.

  • Justice if different in Elkhart County

    A warning to the uninformed: there is justice and there is Elkhart County justice, and any resemblance between the two is largely coincidental.

  • Donations can help house families

    I read with concern the headline in The Goshen News on Wednesday. Our Goshen Housing Authority needs $571,050 to continue the local rent assistance voucher program and avoid slashing services. That is over half a million dollars. Coming up with that large an amount seems hopeless. The related article went on to say that 71 households with 126 children could be directly affected by this shortfall. That is $8,043 per family unit or $4,532 per child.

  • Bishop says HHS rules violate separation of church and state

    On Friday, Jan. 20th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that almost all employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write. And almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.

  • Cut of Rieth Interpretive Center part-time coordinator will be felt

    Praise, lament and wish encompass my feelings for the termination of the part-time position of program coordinator for the Rieth Interpretive Center in the Goshen Parks Department. Praise is for Melissa Kinsey’s effective, “full-time” effort in being the right person in the right place to work at the purpose for the RIC.

Poll

The Goshen Housing Authority has a $571,050 shortfall. Should the Goshen City Council use money from its $4.7-million “rainy day” fund to pay the debt and maintain the current level of service provided by the voucher program?

Yes, the Council should allocate all the money owed
No, the Council should not allocate any money
The Council should pay what cannot be raised privately
