If family, relatives, neighbors, banks, churches, companies, or gamblers won’t loan money to us at a special low profit rate to better society, seems stupid for politicians to think there’s a good chance the loan will be repaid if government provides it. The government should not make loans that nobody else will make, and not intend others to, or bail them out.
I am just wondering how many homes we are going to lose to fire, before the county commissioners are going to take action and fix the broken volunteer system. I urge all citizens in the county to call your commissioner and urge them to put more attention toward fixing a very broken emergency system.
Would the Valdosta Daily Times reprint what is needed to obtain a Georgia State Driver’s License. We are hearing conflicting stories of what is needed and would like clarification please.
My wife and I just had our beautiful baby delivered at Smith Northview Hospital this past week. Everything went well and our stay was pleasant except for one thing. My wife and I wanted to share the photos of our lovely new baby with our friends and family on Facebook. Unfortunately the website was blocked along with nearly every other social networking site. Why does a hospital feel the need to block social networking sites?
It's not the schools/teachers job to teach morals. If "parents" would do their job teaching morals, teaching children to wash their hands, and how to eat with a spoon the teachers could do what they are there to do. There is more to being a parent then birthing the child.
To the guy who filmed the incident with police on Madison Highway, the last laugh is on you. You totally showed your ignorance. Hang your camera on the wall of shame.
The Valdosta Daily Times needs to do some investigative reporting on the Georgia Department of Corrections. Officers are afraid to use force against violent inmates, gangs dominate the dorms and flat-top, staff members are in fear of their lives. Drugs, cell phones, and weapons flow freely. Something bad is going to happen at VSP. Public safety should never be the handmaiden of state politics.
How does a passenger in a taxi get a ticket? Maybe they were being cited for disorderly conduct, or littering, or a number of other reasons. Just because someone rides a taxi doesn't mean they didn't do something wrong.

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.
