I’ve begged our state legislators to take the school tax burden off the senior citizens of Dougherty County and nobody has moved on it yet. I’m 79 and my school tax is almost $1,300.

Amen to David Hewett’s essay on modern life. We need to turn off the TV when it gets violent and pray for forgiveness.

Got one rule wrong on a successful marriage: All your money is her money (important to remember that) and all her money is her money. Whew!

While this crime-ridden and pothole city of ours continues to fall apart, the mayor goes on TV and says how wonderful it is.

Trump wants his supporters to stand up to the NFL players, but bow to his dictatorship.

Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t want the superior name of Darton College and its accomplishments attached to the situation at hand.

From what I’m reading the Trump tax plan will give a Christmas present to the rich and those of us who actually voted for Trump a lump of coal.

You’re right, it is Albany State University, however it has a Darton campus. It was supposed to be a merger, not a takeover and elimination.

Why would Paddock remove the hard drive from his computer? Because he has something to hide. He was involved in radicalism of some type, and there’s only two choices there — Islam and left-wing.

That’s right. Remain silent, and watch your country become a Third World terrorist haven.

City of Albany, tell me why we have to beg for city lights on the southside and on the west side it looks like Las Vegas, all lit up.

There terrorist in New York that killed eight and injured a lot had 23 supposedly family members come to the United States on his lottery ticket. Let’s round them up and send them back.

Why can;’t they have a commercial for a medication where the side-effects aren’t worse than what you’re trying to cure. The side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and blurry vision and all you;’re trying to do is get rid of a headache.

Drove down Whispering Pines and it was so dark and scary as most of the street lights were out. Thank you, B.J. Fletcher, for supporting more street lights.

Squawker, you don’t believe lard’s greasy, do you? Stop preaching to me and don’t you comment on my cousin and John Lewis was breaking the law at the time. Maybe he’s your hero, but he won’t ever be mine and he won’t be my children’s and my grandchildren’s.

All the NFL players protesting inequality and injustice are making millions and millions. So, why aren’t they helping the others? They can afford it.

In addition to outlawing trucks, should be outlaw airplanes? I didn’t see any guns used on 9/11.

What B.J.Fletcher didn’t say was that the city manager has used maintenance general fund dollars to fund her lavish projects — latest example is 401 Pine.

NFL equals No Fans Left. Colin cancer.

It’s amazing how spineless, gutless and cowardly these congressmen and senators of the Republican Party are.
