VALDOSTA —
Some of the teachers were let go for trying to do the right thing. What about them? Your certificate at stake or your job.
It is not as cute as you may think it is to bring your three screaming children plus babysitter to the doctor’s office, and leave them in the lobby for us to listen to. Keep them at home!
A ranter referred to "Private School and Home Schooling traitors." Actually, sir, they don't want to have their kids dragged down by gangs, drugs, and liberalism in the public schools. They would be traitors to their kids for keeping them in the system.
Rave to Dave at Chick-fil-A on North Valdosta Road. He is always friendly, courteous, and very attentive and helpful. He is one of the reasons I go to that location.
Now you're a traitor if you home or private school your kids? First, I still get the "privilege" of supporting public education through my tax dollars whether I use it or not. Second, my job as a parent is to ensure my kids get the best education possible by whatever means I see fit, period. How I do it is nobody's cotton-picking business.
Why does the Valdosta Sam’s even have directional arrows since cars can have gas tanks on either side? Other SAMS in other cities do not have these.
Is there not enough compassion in the multitude of churches and the people who start non-profit agencies to quit shuffling low-income people from one of their doors to another? Are there no donors that require some reports from the agencies to which they donate? This is a generous community, but we need leadership to consolidate and improve the tired and struggling agencies we now have.
The crews working at night on North Valdosta need to put up more signs as to which lane is closed. Coming off of Country Club, you cannot tell which lane is closed. There should at least be someone there to help direct you where to go so you don’t drive on fresh pavement.
I want to send a big rave to Buffy that works at Bayou Bill's. She is one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure to meet in a long time. You were there during a hard time and I hope you the best in life.
To the person complaining about the football teams being escorted by law enforcement. That is done to keep the buses together. I like to also think that is a safety measure to ensure that our kids arrive safely to their destination.

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!
