Here are some of the issues that 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:

I see where the officials are rethinking the city pay. It was already a done deal. If Charles Frasier had voted the right way the first time, it wouldn’t be the way it is now.

I’ve been reading the Courier for years and people have addressed the president as the president. Now every time it is just Obama. He is our president, whether you like it or not, so he should be addressed as President Obama.

I was reading Wednesday’s paper. I see where Councilman Frasier wants to lower the raises. It doesn’t matter, the damage has already been done. The people have already seen how the vote was in.

I’m so glad Rep. Williams got involved with the ridiculous raises for the Hinesville mayor and council.
