“I’d like to respond to the piece in the paper I see on Monday, March 11 paper, ‘City mulls $1,000 payments in response to salary freezes.’ The city’s going to give $1,000 pay to all the full-time workers in June. Well, they did that last year, and you’re going to give them another $1,000 this year. What about the people out here who had their taxes raised or something, assessments on the houses going down, can’t find a job?”
— Hagerstown
“Anybody who works for the city and makes over $75,000 a year should not even be considered for the one-time $1,000 payment.”
— Hagerstown
“I just read the article and the headlines in today’s paper, Monday, and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous for the Hagerstown council to consider a $1,000 bonus for their employees because they haven’t had a raise in a couple of years. There are a lot of people in Hagerstown on fixed incomes who haven’t had a pay raise in a lot of years, more than two, and most of the city employees are right now the highest paid in the area.”

“To all the people complaining about coupons in the restaurant: I have used coupons to get the same meal that I’ve gotten without coupons, and the servings are always the same. These people that say this are just paranoid. ... To the cab driver who says he picks up other people: I’ve ridden in many cabs in many cities, and none of them do this. They have ‘In use’ on their cab. You can’t even hail a cab when they got somebody in it. So I don’t know where you come from.”

“All the stuff that’s going on at Halfway Fire Co. where is Kevin Lewis and the county commissioners now?”
— Fairplay
“If the city gave their employees a one-time payment last fiscal year, and they’re giving them a one-time payment this fiscal year, doesn’t that make it an annual payment?”
— Hagerstown
“Here’s to all you abortion advocates. How many of you have adopted an unwanted child? Just what we need, another teen girl having a baby, getting welfare, food stamps, and she can’t afford a baby-sitter because it’s more than she’ll make at McDonald’s. No father, parents can’t afford her either, or wait, she’ll get food stamps, free health care, rent under $100. Who’s going to pay for that? Guess. They should take all of the ... charge them a price every month for care of one or two children. Let us off the hook. What do you think, Hagerstown?”
— Hagerstown
“To the BOE: Stick to your guns and go down where the old PE office used to be. It’s a good-looking building, it’s well landscaped, there’s plenty of room, and if you need to do any expansion, you don’t have to be running around hunting another place to build again. And plus the fact, in Hagerstown, all you’ll get into is traffic jams and people bumming and begging and so on and so forth.”
— Hagerstown
“Reading The Herald-Mail today about the $1,000 work reward or incentive that’s going to be given to city employees, how about making that $1,000 applicable to only those employees of the city government who live in the city, that that is their permanent address? Some cities do that most effectively, especially for their policemen and their firemen. Instead of seeing them drive by through the city and go off to their homes in the suburbs.”
— Hagerstown
“Last summer in Boonsboro, curbside pickup of recyclables began. This has been such a help, replacing loading the car with papers, cardboard, bottles and cans, to take up to the green bins that were then on the Park and Ride lot.”
