Finally we know the long list of terrible sewage problems ignored by some Valdosta city officials for many years. Shame on those in the City Council who “applauded” ignorance and cynicism. Do not blame “an act of God” for your own outrageous incompetence resulting in poisoning of people and God’s natural creation.
I wonder how long it will be before people start blaming God for all the rain. Yes, the flooding caused a mess, but if people would work together instead of blaming everything the city does or does not do, it is not going to fix the problems. Maybe it’s time to have a community meeting. What has happened, has happened. Put your heads and hearts together to find a solution.
Rave to the people who are raising their voices against the sewage spill. We need to keep up the pressure so the city acts responsibility and this does not happen again!
To the ranter discussing guns on campus. The best way to keep gun violence off campus is to keep gun-toting, uneducated rednecks like yourself off them. I’d rather be a smart, educated liberal than a dumb redneck any day. Liberalism is based on ideas of openness and tolerance and conservatism on ideas of fear of change.
Well instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on the useless park next to the employment office, you should have put that money to some actual good use. Unless you are using that fountain for quality water supply?
Raves for the Holiday Inn on West Hill Avenue! Our retired teachers group meets there every second Monday, and the staff treats us so well.
Some of us want and deserve to know why our elected officials in this state are so quick to vote to blanket everywhere with concealed weapons. Respectfully asked, if this will solve the gun violence problems, isn’t it incumbent upon us to inquire “how” and be given straight talk back?
Voting down SPLOST was still the right thing. That money would have gone toward pre-designated pet projects, and not one penny of it would or could have been spent on the treatment plant. It is called “Special Purpose” Local Option Sales Tax for a reason.
A citizen does not have the authority to tell someone to turn down their music. Your best bet is to call the non-emergency number for your local police department. Thank you for not calling 911 for such a situation.

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
