Letters: Fed up with waste of taxpayer money

I’m so fed up with all the changes in this area.

First, the middle school wasn’t fit for students, but yet fixed up for apartments.

Second, putting in turn lanes and sidewalks for Washington Avenue, cutting into our properties. Because of the sidewalks, we’ll have to risk standing in the street to get mail, almost getting hit. Cars going too fast. No parking for sales or family events. Dumb!

Third, a new jail costing millions. It’s a jail, not the Hilton hotel. Ridiculous!

Fourth, the stupid [roundabout] on 14th and Washington Avenue. Makes no sense, and screws up people’s properties! Stoplights cheap?

School board and city council members: you are all frustrating! Inmates can pay for the jail, and property taxes should be waived for seniors and low income.

I hate this county!

Fed up,

Cindy Kilman
