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 to do we know what motivated the callers:

This is to the Long County civics group against fraud and corruption. Some of us don’t have computers and would love to attend meetings. Please give us a phone number and time and place. Keep up the good work.

I voted no on the trauma care thing on Amendment 2 because they could have taken the money that went to Jekyll Island and China and put it to good use on trauma. Most people are going to vote no because they don’t want anything more taken away from them.

I talked to a lady about some campaign issues and such. But she said she wasn’t going to vote for the man whose sign she has on the side of her car. She was doing it just because of the money he gives her.

I see some of the ads in the paper for running for sheriff and governor and all these things. Some of them need to check themselves on what they say about the others. If you’re really for family and friends, you wouldn’t go outside yourself and belittle yourself just for political advantage.
