OK Liberals — your man won. Now hold him accountable for all the same things you held Bush accountable for: spending, honesty, transparency, work ethic. Bush had his issues, but Obama makes Bush look like an angel.
It's upsetting to see Christmas lights up already when Thanksgiving isn't even here yet. People's mentality is that once Halloween is over it's time to celebrate Christmas. Really? Shouldn't we give thanks before we overrun the stores to buy useless and meaningless presents?
Emergency responders (police, paramedics, firefighters) need to be as careful when they're driving to an emergency. Driving around the streets at excessive speeds can only lead to accidents where people could get injured or even killed. That defeats the purpose of having these types of individuals in our community.
If SPLOST funds were used correctly and not wasted on needless projects, then the people of this community would vote for that type of fund. People are worried that their hard-earned tax dollars will not be put to good use. Envision projects that will be a benefit to most, if not all, community members.
Please be aware that there are bogus letters, from so-called "investors" located overseas (Hong Kong), being mailed to innocent citizens in Lowndes County. They are inviting you to contact them for an opportunity to make money by investing with them. This is a scam, and for your own safety, please do not respond in any way offered by them.
People wanting to secede are not traitors. Past revolutionaries and secessionists viewed their governments as corrupt and abusive. The Civil War was about the erosion of states' rights. This current movement is about having a Marxist in the White House.
Medical costs are getting to be outrageous. And the doctors have the nerve to tell you that you need this test or that procedure done. Like I can just whip out my debit card and pay everything that they want done. I'm not made of money like you are, Dr. Whoever. Cut down on your costs, please.
I voted against SPLOST. Not because I do not want to see lovely auditoriums and other fancy stuff come to Valdosta, but because only the rich will be able to enjoy the things that SPLOST would bring to the community. The poor and middle class would sit back and watch their dollars being used by the rich, just like it is now!

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!
