Laws should be reinforced when dogs are roaming the streets. There is a leash law, yet, I see numerous dogs either dead by the road or will be. It also causes wrecks from us trying to avoid hitting them. Please fine these owners and take their dogs!
Dear Kinderlou neighbor, why should our property manager have to send you a letter asking you to trim your bushes? Take some pride in your home!
Will the owner of the little brown-rust colored dog that hangs at McDonald's and Family Dollar near the overpass, please get it before someone hits it or it is killed? That is a very busy area and it is lucky to have made it so far. If you don't want it, give it to someone that will take care of it since you don't.
In regards to the paper's recent article about Wild Adventures opening back up, it actually didn't start with a love of flowers and trees. HFE may have but not Wild Adventures. It all started with a giraffe named Bongo and a man named Kent who worked very hard.
So SGMC can buy land and build more buildings but can't offer decent wages or retirement? And they wonder why so many employees leave — especially nurses! Wake Up! If you want to keep your people, then treat them well. Basic Business 101.
To the Educator complaining about being asked to take work home. When you went to school all those years you knew teachers (who cared) took work home. If you did not want to do that you should have found another career. And many doctors and Accountants don't take work home but they have to work more than 190 days a year for a full year’s pay.
The Rant re: teachers shouldn't have to take work home because other professionals don't is ridiculous. If you want to be treated as the professional you profess to be, realize you do the work that has to be done. Doctors are on call or working extra hours at clinics, accountants work 16- hour days during tax season and beyond, lawyers frequently work on weekends to catch up. And beyond just getting the work done, most of them have the burdens of paying employees as motivation as well.
I’m sure the readers of this column are sick of hearing about the sewage problem. I sympathize with you but enough is enough. I think we all get the point—old problem needs to be fixed, period.

Thank you to Victoria at Winn-Dixie in Lake Park for being honest. I left my cash back in the automatic check out. She found it, and turned it in. Great employee. Keep her Winn-Dixie.

I am a student at Valdosta State University, I pay thousands of dollars in tuition, but I am not allowed to use the Student Recreation Center because I am not taking summer classes. I was told that I have to pay $45 to use the Rec Center during the summer. As if I don't pay enough already... Utterly ridiculous.

Truly embarrassing that our community euthanizes 12 animals daily. Our citizenry hasn’t progressed to understand responsibility. The end result in these horrible economic times is the ongoing suffering of animals. Other locales nearby have solved this problem; mandatory spay/neuter and breeding licenses are needed to stop this scourge. Let’s get serious, please!

I think what the County Commissioners are doing to Deep South Sanitation is outrageous and I think the citizens of Lowndes County should remember this during the next election. They are giving away freedom of choice. This man had this trash collection before Advanced.

The City of Valdosta needs another cable company! Competition is a great thing.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm quite pleased with Advanced Disposal. I'm paying less than I paid for service with Veolia, the service is reliable and they offer a large recycling bin. I don't understand what's "socialist" about offering county residents affordable, reliable service.

Closing the trash drop off was a big mistake. I live in Stone Creek so now I can’t put anything beside the street, now I have to haul it to the landfill and pay by weight. I had to pay $15, then I have to pay the trash pick up monthly. Something is wrong in this picture. I have a lot of yard waste, so now I have to take it to the landfill every time I clean yards.

I live in Brooks County. A while back, a limb fell at the edge of my yard. I called the road department asking to remove it. I was told they could not help because it was on private property. Later driving down Johnson Short Road, I saw the road department removing limbs from a yard. I have found out the limbs were on private property.

Do people in Valdosta not understand that when you lag behind at a green light there are people behind you that will not make the green light due to your inconsideration?

Mosquitoes in the city are growing fast. But sanitation and cable bills in so-called "Metro Valdosta" are growing even faster!
