Speak Out – August 3, 2013

Tuesday — 8:00 a.m.

Hello, this is Bob. I keep getting requests in the mail from the republican national committee for donations. Yes, I'm a registered republican, but I'm tired and fed up with republicans wanting my money while they whine and do nothing but look out for their own interests. How many scandals does it take before Obama and his administration of his paid liars and thugs going to jail.

Our country's going to hell while republicans and democrats fight amongst themselves. We need some leadership, not a bunch of narcissistic perverts that don't have anything better to do but expose themselves on the internet by different means. Thank you, I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to express my opinion.

Yeah, this is Jesse in the Pace area. We need to get somebody cut West Spencer Field Road, the grass by the highway. It's getting to be if you're in a little vehicle, you can't see coming out these side roads. See up West Spencer Field road safely. It's a hazard to people that are walking to stores and stuff. Let's see if we can get somebody to take care of that please. Thank you.

The east end of Cooley Drive that runs into West Spencer Field Road. The road is so bad at each side of the road at the edges. The mailman has got a big hole he's got to bounce in. It's probably damaging tires. If you run off the road, you'd get hurt and damage your tires. If you could get public works to put some asphalt and some dirt in these big holes to keep the mail man from bouncing through. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Wednesday — 12:30 p.m.

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to get this subject in Speak Out. Maybe this time you can print it?

The School Board has announced that the 100-year-old part of Chumuckla Elementary is safe. All I can tell you is that none of the workers there believe that. There's a long history of sickness in that place. I don't think a one-day test on a building cleaned up for the summer means much. Did they even look underneath the building or in the attic? As for me, I wouldn't put my dog in there. Margaret.

Hi, since they're making a lovely sidewalk around Benny Russell Park and all, so people can walk. I'd like to see our commissioners make Santa Rosa County where all new subdivisions would have to have sidewalks put in because the obesity epidemic is really out of proportion. And sidewalks in all the new subdivisions would really be nice and would help with the obesity problem. Thank you.

Wednesday — 8:57 p.m.

People, you need to call your school superintendent Tim Wyrosdick and ask him if we are following in the pattern of Brevard County in Florida. Islam is in their history books. There are 30-something pages concerning Islam. There is no mention of God—the Christianity God at all. Also, my husband was told by the director of education at the school board, that films are being shown now in the school because she thought that children should be subjected to everything. My husband disagreed and told her we needed to be show showing films on God and Christianity.

You need to know what's happening in your schools. I know it's unbelievable, but what I'm telling you tonight was on FOX news. So call your school superintendent, I already have. Thank you.

Wednesday — 11:06 p.m.

Yes, I'm calling in regards to the sinkhole on Avalon on Sunday, Saturday, whatever day it was. Anyway, I hit it and damaged my truck. First of all, I'd like to know who's responsible—the state or the contractor. If anybody knows, please let me know.

And also, it's Wednesday night and they're out there digging holes again. I'm just wondering if they didn't patch it right or what. Anybody knows, please comment, thank you.
