MRN Top 10’s for 2022: Opinion

Now through the end of the year, we will list a variety of “Top 10’s for 2022”. These are determined by you, the reader, based on the pageviews for each story/video/column.

These are all penned by MRN Publisher J. Robert Gough unless otherwise noted.

1. Predicting Pettit before the ink is dry on the contract: While hundreds of people took to social media after the announcement to praise the decision and congratulate Pettit, there were a few with … concerns.

2. Women in Adams County should be angry and afraid after Adrian ruling: Op-Ed submitted by the QUANADA Board of Directors.

7. Moving and shaking in downtown Quincy: Downtown could look a lot different this time next year.

8. More double-dipping Illinois school superintendents: Our friends at Wirepoints closely follow the Illinois pension saga. Parents, raise your kids to be school administrators in Illinois.
