To the Editor:

I have been reading many articles and opinions about the courthouse in Courtland. The judge that presides in that courtroom feels he needs a safer atmosphere with more security then I think we should spend the money to build a new courthouse.

I was influenced by the thoughts of the staff and faculty that work in that building every day. The conditions they work in after remodeling does not sound very safe.

This is another reason I think we should vote Yes for a new courthouse on a new location.
