Is it possible that terrorists were responsible for the recent salmonella outbreak?
Can someone please tell me who is paying the highest price for silver these days?
Do you believe the public would be better served if there were 19 instead of nine on the U.S. Supreme Court?
I would like to thank all of the smokers that will be staying home to drink their alcohol now that they can't smoke in bars. Now maybe there will be a few lives saved.
What we need in this country is less government and more freedom.
I am pro-life. I currently have three family members who are in the military, one is in Iraq, one is in Germany and one is stateside. What is your point?
If the state Supreme Court does not want to address the questionable legislative pay raise issues, then there must be a lower court or jury that can visit and resolve the issue in a rational manner. Otherwise, it appears the Supreme Court might be in contempt of the law.
If Mr. Carper would like metro government and the people in the eastern end of the Kanawha Valley to join in, the first step he should make is returning the coal severance tax funds, which have been stolen from communities in the eastern end for years. That would be a good start.
I would love to see South Charleston consolidate St. Albans, but definitely not Charleston. South Charleston has their city on the ball.
I would like to know where I can go and get a job for 10 hours a week and make $1,900 a month.
If going to metro government means we can get rid of Jones then I'm all for it. The county citizens can't afford him.
To Kent Carper, Brooks McCabe, Danny Jones and all the mayors in the small cities in Kanawha County, please load that bus and go to Louisville and let's start doing things like big boys and not let our individual egos get in the way of the future success of our county.
To the person whining about the user fee, the FestivALL, etc., since you have made the decision to "attend no events, do no shopping or spend any of my disposable income in this city," guess who the loser is? Sorry your poor attitude keeps you from enjoying so many wonderful events.
It is sad to see that they are going to do away with the analog police radios. Hundreds of people, old retired fellows and women, listen to the scanners for entertainment during the day. From time to time police get help from people who hear things on the scanner when they see people who have committed crimes and are able to report them.
To the venter who stated that war is the abortion of 18-year-olds, those 18-year-olds who are dying in war are doing so voluntarily. They enlisted. Abortion involves the murder of people who have no choice. Our arrogant Mayor Jones is doing something right for a change considering metro government, which would be very efficient and better and cheaper.
Compare the gas used by fans on a typical fall weekend for football games to gas "wasted" for one NASCAR race. Maybe we should cancel football too.
When so-called patriots wear Chinese-made American flag label pins and fly American flags made in China, are they being patriots or just stupid? Each of those little metal pins and flags, paper or fabric, made in China or other foreign countries represents American jobs lost to "free trade."
Liberals are so hard up for something to complain about they're still bringing up Bush's actions in moments following 9/11 attacks. What heroic action would we have seen from Obama, Clinton or Kerry under the exact same circumstances?
Right-wing judges are sure turning their backs on workers and families these days. Corporations break the law, get people killed and get away with it time and time again and nobody goes to jail. Too bad people voted a Republican agenda to wipe out the American family.
I think South Charleston should annex Charleston and we don't have a user fee.
I wanted to comment on the prisoners picking up trash out on the interstate in the medians between Winfield and Hurricane. I am glad somebody finally got together with the jail system and put the prisoners to work. It is a win-win situation and whoever that was, I congratulate you wholeheartedly.
Russia has a national holiday to commemorate their first man in space. Americans, please call and write your congressmen and ask them to make July 20 a national holiday since Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon that day and that is an achievement far greater than Columbus Day.
To the person talking about game shows giving away millions of dollars, what does that have to do with the government owing money?
Electronic voting has taken away the voter's ability to "write in" another choice other than what the two parties have offered. Voters have been cut off from making a third choice and we should petition the courts to throw out electronic voting machines and demand a paper ballot.
Can someone tell me why Teays Valley doesn't join Hurricane or start their own city? Hurricane is doing a great job and I don't know why we can't be a part of that.
To the smug individual chiming in about the stimulus checks saying, "Be glad they are making a payment for you," I'll have you know we are, and have been, making payments and they still kept our stimulus check. That is not right.
The picture of the rainbow over Charleston in the Tuesday, July 1, Gazette is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen of the city. The photographer deserves some sort of reward for this picture.
The problem is not racism in the rebuilding in New Orleans. The problem is a bunch of dummies built below sea level and now they want the government to bail them out. Aren't you hardworking Americans getting tired of bailing everyone out?
At last I can go back to the Dunbar bingo parlor without having to put up with cigarette smokers and listen to those poor, dying people cough, wheeze and hack as their lungs slowly clog up and fail. Thank you, Kanawha Board of Health.
