“To those wonderful citizens that have unselfishly volunteered their time to keep our beautiful community clean, please give them a huge Hurrah and Thank You. There will always be naysayers that have something negative to say about EVERYTHING. Don’t let the haters distract you from your most worthy mission. I ask those critics to join with us and effect positive change for our great community.”
“I was wondering why the county can’t patch some of the potholes on roads like Vidalia to Cedar Crossing Rd., Aimwell Ext. Rd. at the Bobby Williamson Rd., and the Lyons Center Rd. Will the county pay to have vehicles aligned from having to hit these holes? Somebody needs to look into this and do something about it.”
“Attention Vidalia Police Department: Please patrol the Glendale Subdivision, mainly N. Maple Dr. Underage children speeding on dirt bikes and ATVs every day for hours. If these kids are not stopped, somebody is going to get hurt. It is also inconsiderate to the residents that have to be subject to the noise. This is a residential neighborhood, not a dirt bike track.”
“If the republican party does not rise up and impeach and remove Donald Trump, this country is going to be in a hell of a mess economically like you’ve never seen.”
“Why does the Toombs County Court House stay lit up all night and the lights in the parking lot are cut off? Like they don’t want us to use the parking lot. It's the Taj Mahal of Toombs County, and we can show it off but we can’t keep the parking lot lights on.”
“To the caller who was worried about all the Keep It Clean signs on 280, the committee agreed and we took them up.
Please understand that we are trying different things to remind people not to throw trash on the roads, and for trucks to cover their beds. We would all hope and think that would be a common respect for others in our community, but it takes 2 minutes to see that is not the case. We hope everyone will help us to Keep It Clean, Vidalia, so we can be the cleanest city in Georgia.”
“Does anyone have any information on the best way to eat solar panels? Can you pick them straight off the vine, do they have to be peeled first, are they good in smoothies? What’s the best way to eat those things?”
“Many Vidalia litter problems would be solved if pickup truck beds were not used as garbage cans.”
“Getting rid of Georgia income tax is fine, but getting rid of individual, not business, property taxes would be better. Families work for years and years to buy a home of their own, but they never really own it because every year they must continue to pay our government for it, with no control over the increasing amount every year.”
