Comment: Actions by Junior Stotts & Rob Wilkerson refreshing Roger D Smith DMD writes: Ed: Yesterday I texted Jr. Stotts and thanked him for "doing a good thing" concerning the changes to Hwy55 and 206 intersection. Both Jr. and Rob have not been party to the usual political back-slapping that goes with this type of success and for me it has been refreshing. Two men, whom we can describe, as citizens of Columbia and not just being from Columbia! Again, my thanks to both for their actions. - Roger D smith DMDComments re article 76062 Billy Joe Fudge Thanks Rob Wilkerson and Junior Stotts 2015-06-27 11:25:20 | Comments | Printable version
