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 with know what motivated the callers:

I’m a concerned citizen. I think the suppression unit for the city does a great job. They had a meeting with the NAACP on behalf of Gary Gilliard. I think he blew that situation way out of proportion.

I can’t believe how rude some parents were at the Bradwell graduation. Even after Dr. Albritton said not to scream because people wanted to hear their kids’ names also, they just screamed and screamed.

Three years ago Long County made developers king and farmers paupers, giving tax incentives from one and take all incentives away from the farmers. This is why Long County is now in the pits.

It is wrong that the NAACP wants to march on June 4 from the courthouse to city hall to protest the suppression unit to the city council.
