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:

 

It’s pretty funny to watch ambulances driving back and forth looking at a map. Why don’t they have GPS units? They only cost $500. It’s pretty important that they get places fast.

The city of Walthourville is having bingo night. Where is the money coming from to support this? Hope it’s not other city funds.

When one person has an illness it doesn’t seem that important until you get that illness. Then you understand what that person was trying to tell you.

Just give that soldier who refused to deploy because of her baby an undesirable discharge and resolve this situation.

I went to the tax commissioner’s office today to pay my property taxes and there was not one clerk on the property tax side. I had to wait almost 10 minutes before someone showed up to accept my money.

Courier, the millage rate for the city was not increased. The rate is still the same, 9.5 get it right.

 Don’t try to be someone you’re not on your MySpace or Facebook page. If you’re smart, be that way. If you’re a doofus, be that way. Be who you are in real life.

Thank you to the members of the East Liberty County American Legion Post for providing my family a Thanksgiving dinner.

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

These opinions are not the Courier’s. Callers are not required to identify themselves, so we can verify neither sources nor motives. You may also anonymously submit a comment online at http://coastalcourier.com/forms/soundoff.

“I am so sick of hearing and reading about Chick-fil-A opening on Sunday. This family is a Christian family and no Chick-fil-A has ever been open on Sunday. There are many other restaurants open on Sundays.”

“Thank you, former county Commissioner John McIver and city Councilman Chris Stacy for looking out for the people of Riceboro. There are many residents there who have died of cancer recently and no one else is caring for the people.”

“I glad we got a new chief, Kirkendall. I don’t know what he’s done, but I’m going to give him a chance.”

“Why won’t the sheriff’s department do anything about the four-wheelers screaming up and down the roads in Woodland Lakes and Lake George? And the BOA in Lake George won’t do anything either.”

“My God, American people, we are patriots by nature. How in the world could we have allowed so many Russians to be connected to a campaign for president? That’s not patriotic.”

“The worst neighbor in Rye Patch lets his dog run free and poop on others’ property. He’s too cheap to buy trash bags so his trash blows onto others’ property. And he’s just an annoying jerk.”

“Thank you, Niki Seale for writing a sensible letter to the editor in the April 4. I full support your views.”

“Sadly, being white and raised in Liberty County, I never really understood the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. But today, marking the 50th anniversary of his assassination, I realize that has changed over the last year and a half. I enjoyed all the articles in the Coastal Courier. And I think his significance is ever more important than ever.”
