Speak Out - July 2, 2008

On-line Monday, 12:54 p.m.

Re: Tata’s layoffs

It will all be okay. We will pull through this!

 

Monday, 12:39 a.m.

Hello, I am Howard Van. Saturday morning I went out to get my Press Gazette. But there was something else in the box. I would not have even made a good mullet wrapper. There was only four pages of news, no editorial, classified ads, and one page of sports. If it wouldn’t have been for the NAS Whiting Field section there wouldn’t have been a paper at all. I knew it wouldn’t be long coming as the big boys bought the paper. I hope we have not lost our very good local 100 year old paper.

Editor’s note: We had to shift the pages of the paper to produce the Happy Birthday Whiting Section you received on Saturday. The paper did not change, but due to the special sections we had to make some adjustments.

This is Jack. I heard a few days ago a lot of senior citizens can’t pay their power bills. I have a suggestion. I suggest we cut every elected politicians salary in half. And use that second half to pay the old people power bills and buy them the medicines they need. But that would never work because the hungry politicians want a raise. Just like the late Johnny Paycheck said, “The poor people pay, while the rich people play.”

Re: Tata’s layoffs

It feels as if we got hit in the gut and were expected to get back on the phones before we could catch our breathe. I have not given up hope but it hurts to know that this is happening.

Re: Tata’s layoffs

Yeah we got upset and frustrated and shafted!

 

Saturday, 4:53 p.m.

Hello, this is Marion. I enjoyed your article in the paper referencing Whiting Fields 65th birthday. My in-laws owned a business and we met many folks who became lifetime friends. Many relatives, friends, and two of our daughters met and married personnel stationed there. Many local folks worked and supported their families when jogs were scarce. I thank god for Whiting Field. No place on earth holds fond memories for me like Milton and I thank you.

This is regard to many stories that seem to come out of this paper. Just remember there is always two sides to every story and the press gazette seems to like to print only one! It helps sell papers!

To the person who is looking for the difference in their taxes from Amendment 1 -- school budgets were cut, county services cut, unemployment increased, foreclosures increased.
