I was incensed when I read Kate Coe's article "Tribes to Voters: How Dare You?" [Feb. 8-14]. You should be careful who you let freelance for your paper. The only things she got right were from my business card, which I gave her, and the AFL-CIO button I wear proudly. .
Former Rathbun city clerk denies special audit conclusions
Iowa Auditor of State David Vaudt reported that Rathbun spent $6,975.99 of RUT funds received from previous years for unallowable purposes, such as salaries, fire protection and supplies - which may have to be paid back to the state. New Rathbun Mayor David Coffin said the special audit is being passed on to the Iowa Department of Transportation and it will be up to them whether that money will have to be paid back. Permit fees The special audit also found that existing city financial records did not indicate Anderson had paid the city for her business's cigarette and alcohol permits totaling $775, nor was an estimated undeposited $900 to $1,500 in donations for city fireworks accounted for. Todey said he never knew the city had not been collecting property taxes and that the city's operating expenses were coming illegally from Road Use Tax funds.

Flavors of Italy/Coral Springs
Chef Guido Barisone has long held a place in the hungry hearts of Coral Springs.
His name, associated with Casa Barisone on Sample Road (he sold in 2003), and Flavors of Italy Restaurant & Lounge, (which now gets his undivided attention), brings thoughts of Northern Italian food with continental dabblings.
Barisone uses his attractive setting with elegant marble highlights as a culinary stage for fine dining, including fresh flowers, candlelight, and a globally inspired wine list. Most importantly, he softly seduces his guests into thinking beyond lasagna and minestrone -- though they're both on the menu.
