Here are some of hte 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:

I went to the tax office to pay my property taxes, and they decide to have a meeting on the very last day of the month when the taxes are due. It took them 10 minutes before somebody came out and started taking my payments, and it was only one person with a line to the door.

I don’t think because an eighth-grader plays on a traveling team that his coach should recommend him to play on a ninth-grade high school team. It is unfair to the high school kids. These kids should wait their turn, and they’re already playing on a traveling team.

Well, the Ludowici City Council went and did it again. They went and angered another group of people, because they will not allow bird shooting during their city council meetings. Watch out, the NRA is coming for them.

As far as the politics in Long County are concerned, when it’s all said and done and in the end, all a man has left is his word. And I don’t have to answer for theirs, but they took the oath to serve the public. They need to serve the interest of the public, not the interest of their wallets.

Haves and have-nots have been designed by God’s own hand, and we’re learning more about this fellowship of being this way from New Orleans and up until this present time. It’s going to go on and on until man learns what it’s like to have, and to have not.

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

“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.”
