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:

Overkill is both squad cars, including drug dog, all for improper lane usage.

Broken and abused teddy bears should represent abused children, not the American flag. The flag is for the fighting hero, American soldiers, patriotism.

I was the lady complaining about the tailgaters and, no, I do not do 35 in the left lane. I do the speed limit in the right lane. People like you who think you have a right to speed ought to learn to obey the law.

Citizens of Liberty County, be vary careful who you elect to run the offices here.

I want to congratulate the State Patrol officers who were in hot pursuit today to get their meals at El Cazador.
