Only two of these people deserve the position. Some others don’t qualify.
Donna D.
She isn’t too scared to use her real name. Maybe you could be just a little nastier, and small minded like your Food Lion twin.
You must have me confused with someone else sir.
I’m not nasty or small minded. And, I would advise you to stop going to my co workers and sending messages to me. If you have something to say, say it to me.
From the last names, it looks like they are all Come-Heres but one.
Sad.
At least they all have the courage to want to try to make a difference in this town, versus those who just idly sit by making rude, nasty, disrespectful and unneighborly comments.
As for my rude, nasty, disrespectful and unneighborly comments…
I am Free, White, and Over 21.
I do and type as I damn well please.
Respect has to be earned by being worthy of respect, and the fact that some hack politician or hack politician wanna-be might live on the same street as one of those persons making those comments considered rude, nasty, disrespectful and unneighborly, doesn’t make them a “neighbor” worthy of respect.
