She’s currently seeing a guy who in all respects is perfect for her, she says.

DEAR ABBY: Our 23-year-old daughter, “Alexa,” has a wonderful, wellpaying corporate job with good benefits and a flexible schedule.

He and his first wife, “Gretchen,” had no kids, but they did have a long and messy divorce. She and her family live in the same small town as we do. Her favorite pastime is telling anyone who will listen that my husband physically abused and raped her.
Critics continue to deride a Colorado state law that requires voters in cities to approve municipal broadband efforts, but the latest ballot results show that taxpayers have a voice in the process. Senate Bill 152, which became law in 2005, prevents local governments from entering the broadband market and prohibits most cases of using local tax money for broadband infrastructure without voter permission.
