Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned on anonymously, so the Coureir does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we knoww hat motivated the callers:

Hey, Walthourville, what’s the hold up? You haven’t replaced our recycling bins yet. Our families enjoyed them and some things are just better left alone. It doesn’t cost a thing and I, along with many other people, would like to have them back.

How come the housing market has depreciated 17.5 percent in Georgia and our property taxes keep increasing? I would like someone to explain that to me.

To last week’s caller about prisoners not being able to get a job, it depends on the crime that they committed. Think about that.

I’d like to know when the Liberty County School System is going to release next year’s school calendar. We need it. We can’t make any plans until we know what the school calendar is for Liberty County.

That justice center is just ridiculous. We are in a depression. The economy is in a depression, and Hinesville’s building a justice center like the Taj Mahal. What is wrong with these people in this town?

To the people who think they can go around just hurting people and thinking, “Oh, it’s OK — they’ll eventually forgive me,” it doesn’t work that way. People eventually will get fed up with you and all your nonsense.

I wonder what the people who spend the money in Liberty County think of the taxpayers. Every time you turn around, they’re spending another $1 million for something. Come on, leaders, get a grip on things.

I would like to know how the owner of a restaurant can verbally abuse and attack somebody and get away with it in this town.

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.”
