Thanks to the Valdosta Daily Times carrier,in the Old Wood Valley subdivison, for taking time to tie-up the newspapers to keep them dry in this stormy weather.
The Withlacoochee Waste Water Plant article mentions property taxes may need to go up to cover repairs. If you are a property owner in Lowndes and voted 'no' on SPLOST, you may have voted yourself, and I, a pay cut. What happened to, Vote 'No' on SPLOST and give yourself a 'Raise'?
If LCSO wanted to prevent drunk driving, they would place an officer in the parking lot of the bars to administer breathalizers before anyone got behind the wheel. It wouldn’t cost any more than placing the same officer a mile down the road. But I guess that wouldn’t generate any income for the county, probation offices, DUI schools or lawyers.
Parents should think twice about some of the names they use for their children. It is harder to learn to write them and they will have to repeat the name over to others for the rest of their life.
A big rave to Lidia at Mama June's! She had the best customer service I've had at any resteraunt in Valdosta! I'm definitely going back just to sit in her section!
To the group that is trying to shut Moody AFB down, do you realize that most of you rich folks would be doomed? Ninety percent of Lowndes County would just be idle. Go ahead though, guess that is what you want. We all can relocate. Look at the rental apartments, house just sitting!
To the ranter who complained about the reckless driving of the Georgia State patrolman, I also have seen both state troopers and Lowndes County deputies driving aggressively without lights or sirens on. If they aggressively "hunt" for dangerous drivers, then they should be held accountable for their actions, too.
Excellent article by Dean Poling in Sunday's paper about the political changes in Valdosta concerning black voting power. Thank you to the men and women who stood up.
So I take my family to a Valdosta Middle School soccer game, nice family atmosphere, right? Well at halftime it wasn't so nice due to the music being played. A song played over the loud speakers contained profanity and sexual language. We wonder why some of our youth are the way they are?

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.
