Most children deep down want to do the right
thing, but they struggle with temptation.
This election is our last chance to get one from
outside the political system to slow down what
has happened to us in the past. The established
politicians don't work for us—as we have seen—
and we need someone who doesn't want to make
politics a career.
I hope we are not taking the roof off the
courthouse to just remove dead wasp's nests. Kill
'em in place, we don't need trophies. .
Ask our Father to have mercy on our country
and to give us a leader that is worthy of the of
fice and to heal our land.
Just to let you know. When you are driving
and see where the sidewalk slopes down to the
street, this is a place for wheelchairs to access
the stores and shops around it, so when you park
in front of it, people in their wheelchairs cannot
get to the stores. You know that is very consid
erate of you, you save those people money and
the shop keepers the work of selling to those
wheelchair bound people. How very considerate
of you.
With the plethora of scandals involving those
associated with Hillary's campaign - including
her - what in the world are foreign governments
thinking? Like us, how could they possibly trust
anything we do or say if she is elected?
Is the lawsuit really by the &rand Island
Homeowners or is by the local hospital in dis
guise?
Prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
These days, the average person's attention
span is What was I saying?
Dougherty putting tennis courts at Eames com
plex is a waste, folks won't go a long distance to
an area deemed unsafe. Anthony Jones' concern
on pouring money into underutilized facilities is
right. But wasn't that the same failed argument
against keeping so many libraries open?
If Jesus didn't come to condemn the world,
that's probably not our mission either!
Don't know if Albany needs a bigger historic
district. However, it does need an ordinance
precluding parking all over front yards in older
areas. Some look like a used car lot or junk yard.
Does the Parks & Recreation Authority member
listing need to be updated on county website or
is it a rudderless ship —term of all but one has
expired. Anybody home?
For real? Dekalb County has senior school tax
exemptions on homestead property.
(Sotta drive the new Marlow Lane Ext to see
where it goes. If we get some economic develop
ment out of it, this one may be a winner for more
than residents that drive it.
Since non-profit Paxen Learning in Albany has
classes leading to a 6ED certificate in 35 days,
why not just close the high schools and let them
churn out the graduates? Why pay for 4-years
public education?
Shopping would be easier if employees would
quit walking around in pairs 'shucking and jiving’,
and do more working. Where are the big box club
managers? Sound more like a party than a busi
ness.
After all that has leaked out lately on Hillary
et al, how can anyone not on the public dole in
good consequence vote for her?
So dry Chehaw is limiting camels to one hump
full a week.
It would be more clear if the county website
also mentioned the early voting site is located
behind the Tax and Tag Office. The official ad
dress doesn't mean much to most.
Bit the bullet and took closer look at chest
freezer contents. After finding an 11 year old
item from early in Bush's second term, filled half
a garbage can with forgotten and long lost food.
Politicians didn't think the new Obamacare
rates would be out before the election. A fami
lies' rate going from $700 to $1,800 a month
impacts more than just the 15% paying full rates.
Increased rates for the 85% getting subsidies
are being paid by all taxpayers not just those
enrolled in Obamacare. Vote smart.
Stove fires a big problem. Look at louisvillefire-
protection.com 'microhood systems' or similar
inexpensive products. Takes over when the cook
doesn't.
Close the money pit and and give seniors tax
relief. &ood use of money and benefits a lot more
people.
A recent reliable poll revealed most dead
people vote democrat.
