Poor child! Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, is trash talking one Butler County city. In Bristol Palin’s new book called “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey so Far” she talks about her 2008 visit to Middletown, more specifically her stay at the Manchester Inn.

Reading this local story, I couldn’t help but laugh: A Butler County church that gave away $1,000 to fill more pews last Easter Sunday says it will do it again this year and on future Easters. Lindenwald Baptist Church in Fairfield draws names to award $500 each to a member of the congregation and a […]

Poverty levels are down in Hamilton and Middletown, but figures across the rest of Butler County are not as promising, according to data released Wednesday. The U.S. […]
(sorry about the bad picture – it was taken off a cell phone camera in the evening) Last night we had our monthly Butler County Democrats Club meeting.
