VALDOSTA —
A big rave to the Valdosta City Schools Board of Education for choosing Marty Roesch as the next superintendent! Thank you! He will do well and lead Valdosta City Schools into the future, including the building of the new high school and campus on Inner Perimeter Road.
Thanks to all of the hard-working employees at Bubba Jax Crab Shack. It is nice to go in this seafood restaurant and have great service each and every time that you visit. They are all so friendly. So, if you want to eat some delicious seafood, make sure you go eat at this place. You will not go away hungry, that’s for sure.
Sheriff Prine stated concerning last weekends roadblocks, ‘We were there primarily to get drunks off the roads.’ There were only seven DUI arrests, according to the VDT. I believe it was great getting these seven people driving under the influence, not necessarily “drunks,” off the roads. But was it really worth the cost to county and the state?
The government is trying to squirm out of the sequestration deal they signed, so they can keep over-spending our money. That’s like a child who wants a treat, then tries to squirm out of doing chores. Would you accept this behavior from your child? Of course not. So don’t accept this kind of behavior from your government. Call Congress and tell them to stick with sequester and cut over-spending now.
New tax is $732.12 for a $11,325 car sold by owner. Versus current ad valorum $140, about 10 years to break even (value and ad valorum drop each year). So keep it too long and face expensive repairs or pay another high tax for another used car. Low and middle income buy used, hurting them the most. Not the President’s vision.
Well since the trash dump has been closed, there is trash all beside the roads. I have a dirt road behind my house , now it is a dump ground for everything. What are we to do with all the yard trash? I live at Stone Creek and we are not to put any yard trash beside the street. Please open the trash dump. Or open a place that we can take the yard trash.
A person who resents his employer making a profit by his labor will not make a good employee. Only people willing to produce their best work are needed.
VDT: “Child Shot In Hand.” Valdosta has more gun problems than anyone is admitting. Everyone’s totin’ and many are careless.

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.
