“Instead of asking for proof of fraud I would suggest an independent audit of your department, not saying they will find anything, but definitely wouldn’t hurt to let them look.”

“Property taxes are going to start hurting home values at some point.”

“I went to Kroger on Cleveland Highway for my flu shot. They were super busy and I had to wait about 15 minutes or so. While I was waiting I couldn’t help but notice how friendly, polite and helpful the four employees were with each customer. It’s so nice to be waited on by people who seem to enjoy their job. Way to go Kroger!”

“Be sure and read and re-read the letter to the editor ‘We the People’ in Sunday’s Daily Citizen. Cronyism is at work. Wolves in sheep’s clothing live among us.”

“The comment about the 2008 national debt made me feel so sad to think that any grown person would believe it. The national debt was around $10 trillion in 2008.”

“For years I have heard the thought of did God create man or did man create God? The more I hear the so-called Christians throwing out so much hate, homophobia and if you are not Christian and believe exactly as I believe, the more I am engaged to believe the latter of the two choices. Yup, really more and more every day believe man created God. Your God would never have instilled this much hatred among his followers.”

“When will the powers that levy taxes ever determine the differences between their needs and their greeds?”

“After eight years of Obama calling the shots, and you think that Trump is going to make the rich get richer? Really? I hope Trump makes us all richer.”

“Obama made Hillary’s campaign all about him, but she lost anyway. That has to sting. Especially since Americans, in choosing Trump, also chose to undo most of Obama’s executive orders, which to him are his most precious accomplishments.”

“Talk about adding insult to injury! Not only do homeowners have to pay the taxes for the recreation departments but will now have to ‘pay to play’? Can the local government folks not find a better way to raise funds or lower their budget rather than further burden landowners? Or is that really what is at the root of their quest? The elites in Dalton seem to want to remove the burden of home ownership from the lower income or those they label as ‘undesirables’ just because they don’t have unlimited access to money? Enough with the taxes and schemes to price us out of our homes! How about having some ethics and common decency for a change. Stop being so greedy! Bah humbug!”

“No one should be surprised that Bob Dylan was a no-show at the Nobel Prize ceremony. When they gave that prize to Obama for doing nothing, that diluted the meaning of the whole prize. That’s probably the reason he didn’t go.”

“The person that wrote the letter about Donald Trump’s behavior since the election, he’s got that Democrat one-way tunnel vision. What about the way the Democrats have conducted themselves, from Obama to Hillary to the whole bunch? They’re acting like a bunch of babies.”
