Chief Persley says these loud vehicles racing through town has been going on for years. I have lived in the same house for 36 years and have never heard anything close to this. You can start on Westover and the North Apartments. Owners and management need to put a stop to it.

Fletcher’s story on “Burning Rubber” was needed, but it only scratches the surface. These lunatics are endangering lives, and no matter what the police chief says, there’s no way APD is looking for these reckless drivers. If they were, the tickets they’d write would curtail some of this behavior.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To get the heck out of the state of Alabama. That Liberal Man

Rep. Greene: Another year’s delay in expanding federally funded Medicaid in Georgia will lead to more lives lost. We are losing $3 billion a year that could strengthen health care facilities. Even Mississippi is expanding Medicaid. The legislature’s cowardice is why Georgia is ranked the worst state in health care.

Bravo, Mr. Ferguson, spot-on column. Years ago, a local manufacturer said DCSS merely “warehouses people.” And now, as you say, “literacy rates have a high probability of providing return on investment for the prison industrial complex” may also be fitting.

With the presidential nominations in the pocket of two undesirable, incompetent, senile old men, it would appear this younger generation, with their seeming lack of interest, is leaving them and their children’s future America and future world in the hands of a failed older generation. Such will be a bitter lesson.

I hear Trump has installed a 15-year-old single-wide and an old pickup on blocks, so Mama Marj will feel more at home when she visits Mar-a-Lago.

Just watched the movie “All the President’s Men,” released in 1949. Other than the fact the main character started from humble beginnings, the graft, ethical depravity, and criminal behavior displayed are all being played out now by Trump and his sycophants. Huey Long, have you been shouting in Trump’s ear?

The most helpful, friendly people work at the Meredith Drive recycling center. I leave with a smile on my face. Thank you.

In a time where we mourn the death of an innocent college student, some politicians rush to pass laws they say will prevent a future occurrence. One would like to believe it’s done to protect citizens. But we know it’s grandstanding. With all the violence around the capital building, the legislature has done nothing. Why the rush now?

The Republicans are scrambling on the abortion and IVF issues. The dawg has caught the car.

I really wonder about Ludwig’s columns. Putting Joe Namath’s drinking problems in the same category as O.J. and Hernandez, who were cold-blooded murderers, is ridiculous. Remember, Ludwig, the AMA declared alcoholism a disease. I don’t think murder is.

We are churning out a generation of poorly educated people with no skills, no ambitions, no guidance and no realistic expectations of what it means to go to work.
