Today - How can we improve public transportation in Mansfield and throughout Richland County? The question was a common theme this fall during the six "Talk the Vote'' sessions that we hosted leading up to the Nov. 2 election. A lot of readers and listeners asked about the topic, similar to 2019. Because the need for public transit is not surprising. Many of us depend on buses to get to work, medical appointments, social service meetings, shopping and much more.

Also, a lot of residents have noticed the additional flags outside the Knox County Service Center. In fact, one Knox Pages reader wondered where the money came from for the new flags and also questioned the cost.
