“What I’m calling about is the governor of Maryland wanting to tax gasoline again, and taking the death penalty away from Maryland. What else can he do? Gas is high enough now, we can’t afford to buy it.”
— Boonsboro
“For the caller who wanted to know what to do with the old Sears building: Wouldn’t it be grand to have 100 slot machines upstairs, and off-track betting downstairs? That would really do Hagerstown some kind of good.”
— Hagerstown
“For all the customers of Potomac Edison: If we’re going to read our own meters, to receive a more accurate account, we should be entitled to a discount.”
— Hagerstown
“I’m retired, in my 60s. I have four boys, grew up in Hagerstown, first chance to get out of here, they all moved away. I tell them what’s going on, they call it a dead-end town, Hagerstown a dead-end town, and they’re right. I’m reading about the new stadium. You guys don’t want the Suns around here. Let them go, all right? Don’t make anybody happy. ... You chase away all the businesses.”
— Hagerstown
“In Allan Powell’s Jan. 4 letter, he makes reference to Mitt Romney not winning states in which he owned homes; Michigan, California, Massachusetts, and Ryan did not win his home state of Wisconsin. This is not unusual. Al Gore did not win his home state of Tennessee, nor Clinton’s home state of Arkansas, nor Missouri, Gephart’s home state, nor Tom Daschle’s South Dakota.”
— Williamsport
“Am I the only person who notices how often Lew Metzner changes his outlook on the stadium? Every time you read something he’s stated lately, it’s, ‘Oh, well, let’s not be too hasty,’ on this and that. He should work at IHOP, the way he flips around.”
— Hagerstown
“I was reading Tuesday’s paper, about the business owners in Hagerstown. They’re for the ball stadium. And then today I was reading where they say no way, you know. Well, if the business people want the ball stadium downtown, let them foot the money, not the taxpayers, if it’s going to benefit them. They better start thinking about jobs for the people in this town ... stay here, to get people jobs.”
— Maugansville
“My hat is off to any child who attends our public schools, graduates, and goes on to become a productive citizen. The families who want to build charter schools already have other choices. Either send your kids to private schools, or home-school them. That would fall in line with their real-world issues and needs.”
— Hagerstown
“I think it’s about time to thank all the civil service employees for all the hard work they do and the sacrifices they make, to enable this country to work as well as it does.”
— Sharpsburg
“I have just read Spence Perry’s Jan. 9 column, ‘We must not scare away hope,’ three times, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is he’s trying to say. It’s a lot of ... but nothing really too specific. I wonder why it was even printed.”
— Hagerstown
“Somewhere in the Bible, doesn’t it state that we should not judge other people?”
— Smithsburg
“The Redskins are out of the playoffs. ... Can we stop hearing and reading about RGIII now? Please, enough already. You would think there was never another good rookie quarterback before him. What about Russell Wilson, or Luck, pretty good, huh? I just hope RGIII is not seriously injured and his football career not in jeopardy, but the sports media can really turn you against a player, even though he might be a very good person. Stop it, man.”
— Hagerstown
“I see in The Herald-Mail today, Wednesday, that Gov. O’Malley wants to repeal the death penalty — repeal it. Is he serious? With 20 kids being killed in Connecticut, any time a kid is killed and murdered by somebody, they deserve the death penalty. And he wants to repeal it? Maybe we need to repeal Gov. O’Malley. ... Maryland is just a joke.”
