Itโ€™s good to see that the city council is โ€œeyeingโ€ a financial literacy elective for students. I use to be one of those people that believed it wasnโ€™t the schoolโ€™s job to raise kids and teach them things they should learn at home. But Iโ€™ve learned that if some children donโ€™t get it at school, they simply wonโ€™t get it or have to learn the hard way. I agree with making this an elective.

Donโ€™t Forget Seniors

Dear Informer, I would like you all to cover the senior community more. We are a large community within the black community and we have various issues that Iโ€™d like to see more. Things like health care, housing and dating, specifically for us. Thatโ€™s all.
