Monday, 7:13 a.m.

Good morning this is Jeff from East Milton. If the elected officials are really concerned about the welfare of the people they will award the equestrian center project. It will put numerous people to work and help the people of Santa Rosa County. Please award the job so we can go to work.

Sunday, 5:49 p.m.

Yes, hi, this is Monica. I would like to know how to make a citizens arrest for speeders. Especially on Dogwood Dr., which I have called about numerous times. The cops will not pull them over so I guess I need to take care of it myself. Also Skyline might not be the best, but there are children who play in the area and they have pets and people also walk. The speed limit is 20 miles per hour. The people in this town need to have a little more respect and slow down. The cops need to get off their backsides and quit talking at Whataburger and do something about this.

Saturday, 8:19 a.m.

Yes, Israel should let the Palestinians work in the area they live. I know they don't have their own country, but anyway let them work and grow vegetables and food. They need jobs and help. Israel should stop harassing them. Israel should not be so mean to the Palestinians.

Friday, 7:49 a.m.

Yeah this is Gene. All of these people who said those who voted against Obama are racist. Well 93 percent of the black community voted for Obama, but what has he done. Can they tell me what he has done for them, just one thing? Unemployment for blacks peaked at 16.9 percent and is now at 14.1 percent. He is giving them free money and free food stamps. But he is giving that to everyone who is now considered poor. What has Obama actually done? I am not saying the Republicans could do any better, but look at what is happening today with the unions forcing the closure of Hostess through bankruptcy and more. Wake up America.

Wednesday, 2:41 p.m.

Hi this is Fred. I do not have a computer, so I am calling to wish my wife of 66 years a very happy 95th birthday on the 26th of November. She will be 95 on the 26 of November. Happy Birthday Joyce.

Wednesday, 8:30 a.m.

Milton and Pace restaurants please get your bathrooms in shape. There is nothing more disgusting than got to the buffet and then going to the bathroom and getting hit by that horrible smell. Please have your staff check them constantly. That smell is a real turnoff.
