To The Editor,
Maybe you stash ‘em in the pantry, maybe you hide ‘em under your sink; regardless of where you keep them, when you can’t stuff anymore in, you decide to throw them away. We all have them: plastic shopping bags. Plastic bags are extremely detrimental to our environment along the Gulf Coast, as they can never decompose.

County seeks recreational use of Holley OLF
I hope and pray it takes years for the Navy to give it up. Long after I’m “pushing up the daisies, not smelling them”. I doubt the residents of the numerous streets off Pepper Drive (as we are) would appreciate the present tranquility taken away.

Border-protection wall is presidential
Today’s establishment Republican Party says it represents the party of Lincoln, Reagan and “We the People.” I say it doesn’t represent Reagan’s presidency because in Reagan’s Amnesty Immigration Bill, he signed it because it had border protection for our country in it. We got everything except the promised protection of our border.

Vets get voice mail at VA Crisis Line
The number 22.
It doesn’t signify one’s age, a date on a calendar, the number of days until one graduates, gets a new job, retires or the distance to one’s mailbox.

Burglaries – unlocked cars and homes
It’s time the car and homeowners are held responsible for break-ins to unlocked cars and homes. Charges by Law Enforcement for “Aiding and Abetting” might be “wake-up calls.”

Water Department arson story
That was your best raw-reporting that I remember reading. It was accurate and showed the background of the Water System and how it relates today. At a minimum, the culture still exists through the proxy ballot and the administrator providing free health care (premiums and deductibles) for all the employees and their families. There still seems to be a lack of control between the administrator and board. God only know the back-door deals and the jobs still given via the good-old-boy system.

County Courthouse again
I haven’t read anything about what EXACTLY is wrong with the Court House. I went for jury duty. I was hoping the temperature inside would be comfortable, it was. I wanted the seats to be comfortable, they were. And I wanted the bathrooms to work, they did. So what EXACTLY is wrong with the Court House?
