Hotline

Careth not
For 25 years, since property became a rental on Pinehurst Street in Independence, it has really ruined the value of our home. We have tried all these years to get something done without success. I have personally asked the owner to cut the grass and clean up the trash and the reply was, “I’m doing nothing for you.” Please help us.


Seen enough
The Gazette has carried enough about Deputy Curtis Bartlett. Enough is enough. Stop printing news of the deceased.


Suspended
My comment is about Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. He was suspended six games from the start of this season for alleged domestic violence. Where’s Black Lives Matter and all these other groups to come protest at the Cowboys’ facility about a domestic violence case? Why are the media not putting this on the front page?

A capital idea
I’m calling about the cost of the Galax football field that was described in the Hotline. What exactly is the capital fund? Where does that money come from and if it were not used for a football field, what would that money be used for out of a capital fund.

Be decisive
I am calling in response to the person that said the Elk Creek District needed a superhero to run for school board. We don’t need a superhero. We just need somebody with common sense that knows how to run something. Mr. Weatherman, our school board member now, is so under the thumb of all these committees such as concerned citizens and everything… We need someone who can make a decision for the kids and for the betterment of the school.

Generosity in Galax
