VALDOSTA —
Regarding the Pre K lottery, I know for a fact employees are not given preference. I have a friend that works at Lake Park Elementary and her son was not chosen. Hope this eases your mind.
I am wondering why the mayor of Hahira was allowed to pick one of the three members of the ethics committee that was looking into allegations against the mayor. This seems like a conflict of interest.
To the person with the old bald man comment, I am a younger lady and I am with an older man. Maybe it just shows my maturity level and the lack thereof in yours. If two people are happy and they are adults, who cares?
To the lady about the Remerton Police Department: I got a ticket several years ago because the county on my tag was partially covered. I went to court and was shown the code section where your county has to be visible. I paid my ticket and went and purchased a Wildlife tag that doesn’t have the county at all.
If VSU students would stop partying in Remerton, perhaps the police department would stop "targeting" them. And, I challenge you to find a more honest and fair court system in this county.
To father/owner of the truck that ranted about his "young" son being stopped by RPD for an obscured tag: Did your son tell you he was actually stopped for doing 13 mph over the speed limit? I not only let your son off with a warning for speeding, but I offered the advice about the tag ring to "help" him correct that relatively trivial equipment violation. Good to know my leniency was appreciated.
This may not seem important to other people but I'm concerned about how many buzzards I see circle Hahira everyday. When I'm walking my dog I notice there are always large groups of them here and there. And I never see a carcass anywhere. Perhaps a bird expert can explain this to us?
Teachers’ kids are given first chances for Pre-K slots along with other system personnel. Superintendents have also been known to "save" slots for their favored ones. How do I know? First hand experience from the sidelines!
Seems the usual suspects, including the Chamber are plotting/meeting again on how to consolidate the schools. I guess they don't have anything better to do than to stir up strife yet again. No need on trying to attract new business or anything.

I know two LMS students who have continuously been in trouble this year and had mostly failing grades; however, now they are being promoted because teachers no longer can give zeros, but have to record a 60, even for assignments not turned in! How is it ethical to give grades that weren’t earned and what does this teach about responsibility and consequence?

If you cannot watch your children, perhaps you shouldn’t have children.

Concerning taking up multiple parking spots in “public” lots. Remember that these are mostly on private lots (including Walmart) and the only reason they don’t say anything is because they don’t want you taking your money elsewhere. A little courtesy, especially on busy days, goes a long way.

I apologize to anyone my child annoyed at Chick-Fil-A Saturday when I went to the bathroom ...

Are we really replacing hard-working persons with illegal aliens just to save a few dollars? Business owners should be wary and take care of those who have helped them get where they are now!

To the person who is referring to people complaining about people being on welfare; no one was pin-pointing you. I have been simply referring to the people to openly advertise how they cheat the system and never have to work, and live better than I do. And, for your information, I too am a single mother who struggles everyday to provide for my son. So, honey, I have walked a mile if not more in my own shoes of despair.

I have also heard the gunshots in Hahira. I’ve lived there for years but it seems to have gotten worse lately. I tried to tell a policeman in the store the other day but ... The last time I heard the shots was actually a couple Sundays ago, around lunchtime. I've assumed it was people hunting in the woods around Union Road but the shot pattern didn’t sound conducive to this last time.

I too would like to see a minor league baseball team located in Valdosta, but I doubt if it would be supported well enough to justify.

I am a Lowndes County resident speaking to the city leaders concerning LOST. Everyone’s budgets are tight. I hope you are ready to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs out of your decided share. I do not want my share of the tax offset to be reduced because of you.
