Here are some of the 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:

Why do the mayor and city council continue to waste money when we already have a local publication in place?

I pray, in the name of Jesus, whoever is throwing trash on Peter King Road will stop. It really looks bad.
