Well, it’s tax time again, and you’ll see all these people go to H&R Block, Jackson-Hewitt to file these taxes, and they’re charging $300 or $400. You can go online and do them with TurboTax for $19.99. Come on, people.

I would like to say to the Coastal Courier: Why are you always putting Ludowici/Long County news on the front page?
