People need to realize what the speed limit
is in their neighborhood. There are children
and elderly folks walking around.
We absolutely love the new soccer field and
track for the Middle School so I've waited
a long time to complain at all, but no re
strooms?? I'm not even sure who's idea it was
to spend all this money and have no restroom
facilities but it wasn't a good idea. Further
more, it is now becoming a sanitation and
environmental issue that I'd hate to see our
county get in a legal issue over.
I can't express how happy I am with the
revenue Publix brings to our county, but
some of that the county needs to use to fix
Glendale Road. It's is taken for granted but
we who live on it drive through a mine field
because of all the extra wear and tear the
shopping center brings.
When gangs in Albany are not just the
young but include the older too, it becomes
a family tradition. Any hope for solving that
situation?
Becoming very skeptical about the entire
Grand Island development plan, time passing
and no shovels is disheartening.
President’s
List at GSW
Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton are a lot
alike in not accepting political race loss, I say.
And about 250 pounds different in weight,
Bojack adds. Hmm, looks like he is right
again.

no expert on property tax, this seems.to be
very favorable to Oakland. Maybe the Tax

I changed to another carrier but didn't get

Question. Is GOD another name for Mother
Nature or is Mother Nature another name
for GOD?
Commissioners there is a lot of wiggle room
between firing an employee and three days
suspension, especially with a 3 - 2 vote.
A federal judge issued an injunction bar
ring Georgia from using its obsolete voting
system after 2019 in an order reflecting her
alarm about election security heading into
the 2020 presidential race.
On the other side of the county line, the
value of a human life seems to be decreasing
with the suspected gang activities.
We need some more mature adults to serve
in local, state and national levels elected
positions.
The Georgia Democrat candidate for US
Senate is rejecting the old "conventional wis
dom" that had previous candidates running
