O’Reilly calls for increased traffic enforcement as public school year begins
DEARBORN – To ensure a safe start to the new school year that began Aug. 26, Mayor John O’Reilly Jr. has directed the Police Department to beef up traffic enforcement to protect students from speeders, stop-sign runners and inattentive drivers.

Vaccine waivers have become a public health problem
Nobody likes to be told what to do. We Americans tend to take our freedoms pretty seriously — staunchly defending our ability to choose our own path. After all, wasn’t that the point of listing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as “unalienable rights” in the Declaration of Independence? Or all those amendments to the Constitution of the United States we so appropriately call the “Bill of Rights”? We, the Record-Eagle that is, depend upon many of those freedoms on a daily basis, most obviously the freedom of the press, … [Read more...] about Vaccine waivers have become a public health problem
