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:

For the caller who said, why can’t we have white TV and it not be racism, my response is: Tune in to ABC, NBC, CBS and almost every other channel. We have had white TV since the invention of the television set. Is one channel with African-American characters too much to ask without it being called racism?

For those of you that think Midway is a speed trap, give Richmond Hill a try, my friends.

Oh my goodness, Bounce TV racist? Ninety percent of the TV channels are for white people. Wow, really?

Obama failed Israel again. We’re supposed to have war games with Israel, and now they’ve canceled out. They’re taking $1 million out of the military budget, decreasing our men. How much more is Obama going to destroy this country?

Ludowici politics really showed themselves tonight with the city council not rehiring individuals who have been there for years and done the city a great job. One person who wasn’t rehired had been there 28 years in her position. It just didn’t make sense on their reasoning and not giving a reason. Things are really crazy here.

Ludowici is a joke. Their politics, the way they do things with the people who are in charge, they are a total joke. Things need to be done, and we hope that somebody will take notice of it and correct this city for the way they handle their business.
