First I would like to comment about Butte House Road. I don't think it's the road, it's the fools who drive 70-plus miles per hour causing the accidents. Straightening out the road will only cause higher speeds.

Second, in Marysville at Fifth and D streets there's an American flag up over the middle of the intersection that is faded and torn. Why doesn't the city use some of their wasted dollars to replace it? The flag etiquette brochures I have read suggests flags faded and worn should be disposed of legally and replaced.
