“My thanks to the Maryland House leaders who said ‘no’ to gay marriage. They have spoken for me.”
— Smithsburg
“We have bicycle lanes for bike riders to ride in, but they insist in riding in the lanes for cars. So does this mean it’s OK then for cars to ride in the bicycle lanes?”
— Hagerstown
“Well, now we see Gov. O’Malley’s plan to balance the budget. We won’t tax you and we won’t tax me, we’ll only tax that fellow behind the tree.”
— Smithsburg
“Would somebody please call in to Mail Call and explain this to me, please? Republicans always vote ‘no’ when it comes to the poor and senior citizens — always vote ‘no,’ no matter it is, if it involves a senior or poor people, they all vote ‘no.’ But when it comes to corporations and people with money, they always vote ‘yes.’ Why is that? Somebody please call in and explain to me. Something simple as a senior citizen still being considered 62 years old, they vote on it? How sad is that?”
— Hagerstown
“I was shocked — I was watching the NCAA. I know Maryland didn’t have a shot at going to the NCAA basketball tournament, but I thought they’d go to the NIT. They didn’t even go there, so that’s a 100 teams between both tournaments that’s gonna play more basketball but Maryland. One of the biggest hotbeds for basketball players is the Washington-Baltimore area. ... I think it’s really time for a change.”
— Williamsport
“I can see on Monday the 14th, whoever works for Herald-Mail that edits the Mail Call, puts the articles in there for Mail Call, he’s got to be a top-notch Republican, because everything is slanted toward criticism to the Democrats. And if that keeps up, I’ll be buying a USA paper.”
— Hagerstown
“I’m calling in reference to the state employees having to pay for their own prescriptions, and a comment made by Brightwood Acres East, that he is subsidizing or she is subsidizing what they’re paying for. Well, I am a teacher and I am also subsidizing my own self with my own taxes, so I just want everybody to realize that the state and public employees also pay.”
— Boonsboro
“Congratulations to the Washington County Special Olympics unified basketball team for going undefeated. They are an excellent team of athletes and partners, and are coached by a genius coach. The coach is excellent, the players are excellent. Go, Washington County.”
— Hagerstown
“I understand that they are tearing down the old hospital. Has it been considered what to do with the old granite or marble wall that had names of people that donated to the hospital years ago? It was in the lobby, and at last, it was part of the pharmacy. It’s a shame to just throw that away, with all the names of our forefathers on it. It needs to be thought about. Please respond to this. I know other people have seen this also.”
— Hagerstown
“The letter that appeared in the Saturday, March 12, edition was justified in its criticism of the news media. I am still waiting for an Associated Press article on the 2009 Basel II treaty.”
— Hagerstown
“Does the WCPS have a breakdown of the impact redistricting played in the decrease or increase of suspensions and expulsions?”
— Maugansville
“I’m calling in response to the person who called in from Hagerstown on Monday, March 14, about the old power plant down by Antietam Creek. I totally agree with them. ... We live close to the power plant and we still have to go by that old building, which is a total wreck. I agree, if it was in the North End, it’d been taken down years ago, but since it’s not and it’s in the South End, it can remain there until — because if you don’t live in the North End, you don’t get nothing done.”
