VIEWPOINT

	Review of election plan makes sense It makes sense that the county’s election office is looking at possible alterations in the alignment of precincts for future elections.

	Letter to the editor We were disappointed when we read “School photos in focus” (FCN March 24) and the lack of probing into an issue that affects schools, families, and local businesses. Read More by Reader Submitted
	Letter to the editor Forsyth’s ranks as the healthiest county in Georgia and still has fluoridated water. Read More by Reader Submitted
