• I think that Burke Medical should look at the "quality" of its healthcare they are providing for their citizens before they ask for taxpayers' help.

• How much is the hospital authority paying The True Citizen to blow sunshine up their rear ends? Give us a break.

• A big thanks to guys at

EMA station #7 for seeing us through Saturday's storm … and another big thanks to Planters EMC for their hard work toward getting our power restored quickly.

• As the parent of a student who was performing at the

chorus concert at BCHS on March 6, I was dismayed to see a principal's son playing an electronic game throughout the concert. The screen was flashing, and it was bright and very distracting. To me, that showed a total lack of respect to the students and music directors who worked so hard to put this on for us. And we wonder why the kids today are the way they are.

• Dear Mr. Mayor, please clean up your old Mexican restaurant property on Liberty Street. It's a disgrace.

• Thank you Waynesboro police for trying to keep the thugs out of our neighborhood. Your hard work is really beginning to pay off. Keep the arrests coming.
