• It is time to remove the sign on Highway 19 South
that was damaged by last year's strong winds. It has
been on the ground long enough.
• I was at an Lee County event recently that was at
tended by several people including Jo Ealum. I, along
with other people, saw more of the commissioner than
we should have.
• Sizemore is good at removing signs in the middle of
the night but can he get the county staff to collect
those past due garbage bills?
• Michael Jackson has his Wonder Land and Billy got
his golf course. The difference is Michael paid for his
with his money.
