Dear editor,
There was a saying, “There’s nothing wrong with the world, just some of the people in it.”
I truly believe there is opportunity for people if they just open their eyes and ears and not be lazy and afraid to go to work.
I was blessed when I had the opportunity to work for B&W Trailer Hitches for 19 years and 7 months.
If this country is looking for a working model of a company that puts its community and employees first, B&W Trailer Hitches would be it!
Just because I’m retired doesn’t mean I’m a stranger to the company. On the last Thursday last April I had dinner with all my friends at their monthly company dinner. If this country is in bad shape economically you wouldn’t know it there. When I started there in 1994 I was the eighth person hired. When I retired I was fourth on the employee seniority list. Now there are approximately 350 employees and they want to hire more!
If there is a problem in this country and the state of Kansas I would say it is a lack of leadership and common sense in our governor and Legislature. Both are set to destroy our state with their tax policies. I believe most high school students would agree everyone should pay their fair share of taxes. Our governor and Legislature are so bull-headed they won’t change our tax policies.
So my dear friends, as I said earlier, there’s your “some of the people in it.”
As always,
Robert I. Franklin,
Iola, Kan.
