• Do we really need to spend millions of dollars on a new senior center for them to sit around and play cards, etc.? I am not anti-senior citizen, but at the same time, what is the best use of our money as county residents?
• Taxpayers, if we continue to do nothing, it is only going to get worse, property tax increases, SPLOST after SPLOST. When will it end? Not until we stand up together and tell these politicians to cut out wasteful spending and start making do with what they have. I urge you to start watching all the waste in this city and county.
• Tobacco taxes and the lottery are taxes on the stupid.
• I find it amazing that people will condemn gays but at the same time, they will smoke cigarettes all day long, drink themselves into oblivion, cheat on their wives and beat their kids, but yet they act superior and judge. Folks, sweep your own back doors out before you judge other people.
• I think I know why the city has put up golf cart signs. It’s to help the Clampetts when they go golf hunting and round up golf eggs.
• Griffin has a new theme song — “Goodbye Ruby Tuesday.”
• Why do lawyers refer to themselves as “attorneys at law”? What other attorneys are there? That’s like saying “teachers at education.”
• The real reason for why Ruby Tuesday closed was that people thought it was only open Tuesdays. I sure hope the city won’t bring in TGI Friday next.
• Griffin High School and Spalding High School will be having their graduation ceremonies soon. The common response from My Two Cents contributors: What’s a high school graduation?
• First of all, most of the people in Griffin and Spalding don’t need a baby sitter to do business at the customer service office. Perhaps this was a poor choice of words, or maybe that’s how our lady commissioner feels about the public.
• Again, the rural part of the county will have to pay to balance the county budget. Surely our award-winning county manager can find another solution other than closing garbage collection centers another day.
• No, the reason the government is broke is people like the baby daddy who has 30 kids by 11 women, people too worthless to work on the welfare rolls, and the Obama government that lets them get away with it. I heard there is one woman who has four of those free cell phones. Yeah, you know who you are.
• Don’t you go criticizing my dadgum NASCAR, now. I love all the practice, qualifying, and then the race of Camping World trucks, Nationwide and then Sprint Cup every weekend for the whole season. It’s the only sport where there is the thrill and danger of the speed. Everybody who drives a car can relate to it.
The seniors have helped pay for a lot of things they've never use over the years. Many things that made our community a better place to live. Some of us never had children in school but we helped pay for those schools with our taxes. I'm all for stopping waste and abuse of tax dollars but to keep bringing up the Senior Center you are whipping a dead horse. Think about it. One day you might be a senior citizen to. I hope the younger folks treat you kind when that day comes. Have A nice Day.
