As You See It

If the "city manager," "mayor," and "city council" can't have meetings when they're supposed to, then maybe we need to replace them all. They reschedule every month!

A group of senior s recent ly vandal ized the high school . I n the process, several classroom doors were glued shut, and the locks had to be cut off. How can the BOE uphold such criminal defacement of government property? Is it because the majority is from supposed to be high class parents?

I guess jobs in the County Commissioner office are not published in the paper for everyone to apply for.

As juniors, some of the same students got away with releasing innocent crickets into the school building; thus, killing them. Now, as seniors, they have gotten away with the destruction of government property.

I hope the BOE realizes that they are paving the roadway for other upcoming classes. When and where does the line end?

Who is being investigated by the GBI at the County Commissioners Office?

It makes me sick; 17 GUILTY students and all they get is a 'slap on the wrist'! This is not teaching them any responsibility! Our superintendent and school board need to wake up and do what is right, not what some parents want!

Last year some seniors put crickets in the school. This year, lipstick and super-glue, along with vandalism. Both years, no punishment or any criminal charges were pressed.

Some people think that others are idiots. Then they open their mouth and remove all doubt.

This is the taxpayers' school! Take note, all parents of Miller County students, if your child gets into any trouble at school, and is punished, you could have a lawsuit! After all, what is fair for one is fair for all!

"Do the crime in Miller County and you do no time"!

Be careful that you don't throw too many stones if you or yours live in glass houses.

Is it true that the two women that quit their jobs at the County Commissioners' office were being harassed by the Financial Officer and the Chairman?

A good many people heard Leroy Bush "threaten" the mayor with about as racial remarks as possible even if he is black. Being a racist works both ways.

OK, Class of 2010, get ready to break and enter, because it is OK according to the principal at the High School. He is a disgrace to this community.

Next year when the same thing happens at the new school, I hope the principal remembers the punishment that he issued this year; I am sure the parents of the class of 2010 will.

What about all the children in the past that have been disciplined for doing the same thing? Those kids were punished; these were given a few days off to have fun.

Hats off to MCHS! The ninth-12th grade awards program was very nice and appreciated. The 9-12 s tudent s that attended were very well behaved. We are proud of your accomplishments and behavior at the program.

My child could not walk at graduation for academic reasons, but you allow kids that break into the school to walk and then you honor them. Shame on you!

Thanks to all the seniors last week for setting such a great example for our children and to the principal for allowing you to get away with it. You are really an inspiration to us all.

All the juniors need to decide what we want to do next year; we can't get in trouble because the seniors didn't get punished.

BOE doesn't mind letting taxpayers' property get messed up and doing anything about it.

Can't wait till next year when the new school gets messed up and see what the BOE does since they didn't do anything about it this time.

Hope Robbie and Leroy got invited to the celebration party Thursday night since they decided not to punish the seniors that vandalized the school building.

Why are al l of our highest paid school administration from other counties?

The BOE pays the out of county administrators over half a million dollars in salaries each year and gives them a free cell phone to use for personal use.

Say it isn't true that Leroy. the chairman of the Miller County BOE, Bush, told the mayor that there will be a new mayor and chairman of the commissioners, and that they will be black!

Obama is showing us how to change what we work for to some deadbeats or illegals.
