What others are saying

  • Do like you mayor and housing authority
    Blame all the crime on the poor black people they poisoned by toxic chemicals. We know who the real criminals are. They lead the city.
  • Orlando crime
    Have you been to Orlando lately? It's not hard to believe it has been reported as having the worst crime in Florida. Have you seen or heard any of their politicians or law enforcement chiefs speak? I'm not really sure how they received a diploma in anything. Now they are ruining, I mean running a highly populated city in Florida. Very sad. I can't wait to retire so I can run for office somewhere and make a difference. Anyone who approaches me with any type of bribe or "gifts", will definitely be charged with that crime. I wish all politicians felt the same way. Money is not the root of all evil. It is people with no back bone and no morals. When good people do nothing, bad people flourish. It's very sad that America's image is being so tarnished. The tarnishing begins with local politicians.
  • Speaking of crime, Val, what ever became of the taxpayers' SIG? Is it in the hands of a convicted felon now?
