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 know what motivated the callers:

There was an article in the paper about the hospital having a celebration every time there is 40 babies born in a month. When you read the birth announcements in the paper, probably 75 percent of these babies do not have fathers. My question is who is paying the hospital bills to have all these babies.

I have a request that the city mamanger of Hinesville and city council and mayor take the time to ride through the neighborhoods. Hinesville is turning into a blighted community primarily because of abandoned cars and car parts.

Why can’t they put middle school sports in the sports section?

Homeowners in Liberty County, your property is continually going down. So, wake up. Your taxes are continually going up. So, somebody has got to get together and learn what is going on.

All these babies born out of wedlock and we’re in a depression. It’s going to go down deeper than that because who’s going to feed them?

This is the second time my children have come home and brought me head lice. When your children have lice don’t send them to school to spread to other children. That is just nasty.
