Please remove eyesore at Railroad Street

Editor: Do you think it might be possible for the Statesboro City Council, supported by the Downtown Development Authority, Keep Bulloch Beautiful, and the voice of the Statesboro Herald, to address the eyesore at Railroad Street and East Main Street? There is what appears to be several items of abandoned rail equipment, that have been there for as long as I can remember. Removing this unsightly collection would certainly improve the image of our ...

Too many questions remain on funding ag arena

Editor: There was so much in the article in the paper, Sunday, May 15 concerning the county and the 14-year -old "voted in" what is now being called Ag Arena, entitled "County Looks to Move on Ag Arena."

Keeping US currency strong a key to economy

Editor: It probably won't surprise you if I said the dollar doesn't buy what it used to. However, our government is lying to us and giving Americans a very rosy picture of the future when the opposite is true. Now when I say "our government" I mean the Republicans, Democrats, Independents and any other flavor there might be. Here is what I mean. First, I am certainly not a math wiz or economist, ...

‘We the People’ need a tax break!

Editor: Here we go again. Tax and spend! When will the county commissioners give the taxpayers a break? When was the last time they called for a reduction in taxes? Why are we paying them to come up with new unnecessary government projects that require higher and higher taxes? I thought their job was to manage the legitimate government services – police, fire, public roads not a tax allocation district for I-16/US ...

Give Mexicans, Canadians right to work, not citizenship

Editor: Responding to comments on treatment of illegal immigrant student at UGA: Illegal does not always equal immoral. This country was founded on civil disobedience contesting the injustice f England's use of its authority over its colony. Much of our treatment of the original Americans was authorized by law, which later we came to see as not only unjust but cruel. Clearly the same was true with the permitting of slavery by our ...

Please support keeping the Daisy post office open

Editor: When Daisy Mayor Inman 'Junior' Brown heard from Nancy Ross, communications specialist for the United States Post Office, that the USPS wanted to hold a forum to find out if having a post office in Daisy was feasible, Brown's heart sank. Brown's immediate thought was that the post office would close, and "our little community would lost its identity." The small Evans County community is rich with history and tradition and much ...

Thanks for coverage of Sylvania Day of Prayer

Editor: Thanks for the wonderful article in last Saturday's Statesboro Herald covering Sylvania's National Day of Prayer Services held on Thursday, May 5th. You did a great job in your account of both services to the extent that it almost seemed like we were back again sharing in the programs!

Be even more aware of alcohol abuse in April

Homeland security - really?

Editor: Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, in charge of security for the whole country must be living in another country. She says the Mexico border is just wonderfully safe. Really?
