Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier has not verified them, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

 

Why is it 20 cents more a gallon for gas here in Hinesville than when you go to the airport in Savannah? Every place else I’ve lived gas around airports was more because of rental car returns. I think we’re being jacked.

Now Liberty County tax bills are up about $300. I guess all of our officials needed to take another vacation to Jekyll Island or some place other than right here in Hinesville.

Liberty County people, we need a tea party. Our taxes have gone up so much. Jack Kingston needs to come in here and explain why they went up. I know it’s more than the 3 percent I thought they could go up.

I’m sorry, but that dress Michelle Obama wore to the Kennedy Awards make it look like she’s hiding a pregnancy. People need to watch what they wear.

Yes, I got my increased tax bill. I guess this is what you call change I can believe in.

My county commissioner, Donald Lovette, doesn’t seem to be doing nothing for our district. You seem to be important with that play you’re doing. If you’re not going to do nothing for us, you need to resign and work on that play.

This is a true, Southern New Year’s dinner; blackeyed peas, white rice, greens and pork. All for good luck.

I don’t have any problem with the government giving cell phones to people who don’t earn any money as long as the only number they can call is 911. Everybody needs equal access to emergency services. They need to be able to get help.

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.”
