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 we know what motivated the callers:

 

The Midway Police are writing 150 to 300 tickets per month in little Midway. Wake up, new council members, you are damaging Midway.

There is a simple solution for the person complaining about the napkins they get at KFC: Open your mouth and say, “Can I please have some more napkins?” Use some common sense.

I think it is sad also that a 93-year-old lady can be asked to leave the senior citizen group. It’s also sad they can get rid of volunteers for their own malicious reasons.

Having a transportation system in Liberty County is great, but making it diesel instead of green is stupid.

For what they pay the mayor and council members, if they want them to do a job, they’re not going to find anyone to run against them. By the time they pay taxes they’re not paying them anything anyway. No wonder so many people run unopposed.
I live on Sequoia Circle and, pay raise aside, my councilman, Keith Jenkins, works hard for his constituents and we need more like him in this city.

The other night I witnessed a traffic stop and a racial profiling incident broke out.

Stopping someone for a minor traffic offense and keeping your fingers crossed, hoping it turns into something bigger like a drug bust is not good police work. It is harassment

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.”
