Sedline for Nov. 15
“I’d like to know why the license bureau can say that they have made better hours when they close at 5 (p.m.) and people who work can’t get there before 5. How is going from 5:30 to 5 an improvement?”
“We do not want a new stadium or football field by the new high school.”
“A suggestion for people who want to blow their leaves out into the street. The easiest thing to do is use the mulcher on your lawn mower, that way it provides nutrients for your lawn. That way the sewers would not be backing up.”
“I am betting that you do not print this.”
“Recently (Democrat reporter) Tonya Fennell requested comments from teachers on the new high school. I do not believe she was able to get a true representation of how the teachers feel because comments could not be submitted anonymously. The school superintendent and administrators are more concerned with appearances and attendance numbers and padding the graduation rate.”
“How many dogs were euthanized this morning? ... How about getting foster homes in these times?”
“If the local authorities would spend more time patrolling the neighborhoods and looking for people breaking into houses and vandalizing stuff, instead of sitting outside the bars at 1 a.m., I think we could curb this problem of vandalism and theft in the community.”
“I think it is a shame these parents will give their little 7-, 8-, 10-year-old kids these dangerous guns to go out to shoot and kill their deer and turkeys. Don’t we have enough trouble with guns? Watch out down the road.”
“Could someone please try to arrange for the heating and air conditioning at the new high school to work properly?”
“Looking for a job paying $50,000 a year? The Pettis County collector, auditor, clerk and recorder positions will be up for election and they each make $50,000 a year plus benefits. Sign up to run after the first of the year.”
“I wanted to warn everyone to be careful during this deer hunting season. Occupying the Beaman Monster’s territory while hunting can be hazardous to your health. Use common sense to protect yourself. (Laughing) Don’t carry beef jerky or cheese in your pocket ... they love that stuff.”
