This is Dale. I see where the City of Milton spent money to cut down perfectly good palm trees. Now I see they spent more money to put in other trees where the palm trees used to be. Seems like they have plenty of money in the City of Milton. I promise I'll remember this come election time. I suppose they'll remember it too when they swear up and down they don't have enough money and have to raise taxes next year.

This is David. I don't know if it's just me or if it seems ridiculous that the school system has traffic school zone lights on East Spencer Field Road at Norris to help control the flow of the high school coming out at a traffic light. It seems redundant to have school crossing lights flashing at an intersection where it's better protected with a traffic light. Also at old Chumuckla Highway where there are caution lights creating a bottleneck where it goes to the elementary school and Sims. The main road has no lights going to the schools. It's 20 miles an hour but it's the regular speed limit on Education Drive. There's no lights on Education Drive. It creates a bottle neck at Education Drive and Chumuckla Highway. There's nothing anyplace else with the school that far away. Just my thoughts.
Sunday 2:39 p.m.
Hello this is Donnie. sitting at the breakfast table reading Sondra's question from November 13. I want to know about non moving traffic violations, would I get my picture in the paper for parking too long at the Sheriff's office? I'm waiting on seeing Jim's picture in the paper.
Sunday 3:16 p.m.
This is Michelle. I'd like to see something done about the traffic violators in Jamie's Ridge. Especially the ones using Jamie Lee Drive as a speedway when leaving the subdivision. And the business owner, who lives on Jamie Lee Drive, who drives well in excess than the posted 25 mph without concern for the pedestrians who live on the street and does not stop at the stop sign day or night on a daily basis. I will be on my lawn cheering when law enforcement starts giving citations.

This is Dennis. I was looking on Youtube and I see about 200 generals and high ranking officers were purged from the military. Meanwhile, Homeland Security has purchased about 1.4 billion rounds of hollow point bullets, armored personnel carriers and drones. Our military is weakening and homeland security is strengthening. What's up with that?
