VALDOSTA —
I wonder how those of us older than 30 ever made it through school without a cell phone. I'm surprised we’re not still sitting on the sidewalk waiting for someone to pick us up after football practice. My teachers didn't even have a phone in their rooms so enough about the new VCS policy. Thank you, Dr. Cason, for trying to create a better learning environment for our students.
Eliminate the Public Defender program and go back to requiring attorneys to take on cases on a rotating basis with the county paying like they pay jurors. If they want to pay someone else to do the work out of their pocket, let ‘em buy-out their turns.
Something different needs to be done about the pre-K registration. Parents having to camp out all night is beyond ridiculous. There should be enough space for all of the children.
How come SGMC is building all these new buildings when they can't even give their employees their raises for the year? I bet administration got their raises this year!
Thanks to The Valdosta Daily Times for the salute to the first ladies. I have enjoyed the history you shared with all of us. I look forward to my paper daily. Hopefully you will highlight more history for the enjoyment of all.
Georgia's seven-member Budget Task Force needs to add this obviously needed budget cut. Fire State Government managers and their accountants that couldn't find the $3 billion in savings the Budget Task Force of seven private business leaders formed in January uncovered so quickly. With so much obvious waste in government today, politicians should never have to hire help to find it.
Consolidation means higher property taxes for city and county residents. We need new high schools in both the city and county. Consolidation will give us nothing for our tax money. New schools can mean more jobs and more revenue.
I think that people on welfare programs that do not have a job should be required to do something for 40 hours a week in order to receive their check just like everyone else.
To the one wanting someone to clean up the burned house, we had to pay big money to have our burnt belongings hauled off. How is it the county's job to do this? I could have saved a lot of money if this were true!
