Speak Out – Dec. 1, 2012

If you have a short comment you would like to make, call the Speak Out line at 623-5887. Longer comments are better suited as a letter to the editor.

This is Bob. A few weeks ago I put in a (Speak Out) wondering about why there were no safety and fire inspections. And it doesn't look like you looked into it. A friend told me your reporters are afraid to leave the office and ask questions. Thank you.

Editor's note: Bob, safety inspections and fire inspections are done on new businesses as part of the building permits and are done upon request according to Milton Fire Chief John Reble for existing businesses.

I have a suggestion, maybe the Press Gazette can do a full page or full paper and dedicate it to how you get things and earn them. Talk about food stamps, welfare, if you have a kid, unemployment, Medicare, Medicaid, and all the other programs. Detail how they are earned and how hard it is to get it. Go online and see the process.

Hi this is Jeff. I just got my paper in the mail on Wednesday and this comment is directed to Gene. I spoke on the subject of help before and I don't understand what you people are thinking. It is not free money, not free food stamps, not free unemployment and it is not that easy to get. Obviously you have never needed it and if you ever need it see how hard it is to get. There are people like me who have worked 35 years and are now unemployed or only getting part time work. We all pay taxes for utilities, gas, and other items. The federal government takes taxes out of unemployment. So how can you say it is all free.

Yeah this is Gene in Pace. Merry Christmas Santa Rosa County. During the Soul Train Awards the other night Jamie Foxx said lets give thanks to our Lord and Savior Barack Obama. Remember when Kathy Griffin said something like God didn't win this award and she faded out. Where is she now? I guess Jamie Foxx is about to fade out too. Obama is not our Lord and Savior. I am sorry many treat him like that and worship him. Even Pravda, the Russian newspaper, said Obama is a communist and the best thing that has happened to Russia.

Santa Rosa County, isn't it ironic we all complain about hunters, politicians, drugs, people who don't work, the highway department, and so forth yet no one here is willing to do a darn thing about it but complain. This is Bob to see what your worries or complaints are about next.
