Traffic woes on ‘Horizon’

The Horizon Property Group’s Outlet Shoppes at “Louisville,” proposed for Exit 28 on I-64 in Simpsonville, will prove to be a traffic nightmare for us all, especially those residents living on the south side of Interstate 64. Triple S Planning and Zoning has prudently delayed the vote on the project for further review until its meeting Aug. 21.

Good position on health-care law

Kudos to The Sentinel-Newsfor boldly recognizing the wisdom of the  Supreme Court's ruling that the Affordable Health Care Act is constitutional (“Health-care law deserves its chance,” July 3), in spite of the hue and cry of our own loser U.S, senators that it must be repealed in order to deny a victory for Obama. Yes, give the act a chance to work, partisan politics aside.

It was appropriate that Claire Schaefer was chosen Miss Teen Queen of the Shelby County Fair because she is an all-around queen in our book.

The Shelby County High School teenager knew how “sensational” it is to enter a pageant and win...bringing home a sash, tiara and flowers. She also knew that girls with special needs probably don’t ever have that opportunity, so she made it happen with the first Miss Sensational pageant.

People should not be concerned about the shortage of building inspectors in the city of Shelbyville (“Shelbyville plugging inspector’s position,” May 30). The Shelby County building inspector cannot enforce the building codes anyway.
