Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

If anyone doubts there are junk cars I would recommend the councilman that encompasses Windhaven and Timber Ridge and the mayor take a ride along with the police chief through those neighborhoods.

Hey, letter to the editor, a rolling stop at a stop sign is not a stop. Most criminals found on the road today are not found because of criminal activity but because they failed to stop, crossed the line or have a taillight out.

To the crime suppression unit, you got the right one this time.

I have lived all over Georgia, from Atlanta to Savannah, and have never seen a more corrupt law enforcement agency than the Hinesville division of the Georgia State Patrol. They act as judge, jury and executioner. Beware of dirty justice.

The mayor and city council should act like an expensive Rolex watch and let the police department know exactly what time it is.
