TalkBack for Nov. 4

Bush blamed

Any day, I expect to see Bush blamed for swine flu and the shortage of vaccines.

Grammar

When are people going to stop using "quality" as an adjective? I see ads, billboards (sorry, Aiken Regional) and signs where "quality" tries to describe or modify something; it can't do it. There is good quality, bad quality and every kind of quality in between.

Limitations

What are the limitations for use of a County vehicle?

Extension

The Powderhouse extension is ridiculous. How will someone from Couchton get to the Aiken Mall? They must be smoking something.

Food stamps

Why is it that some people can get food stamps who don't need them when there are families that are desperate but can't.

Tax disaster

The point of sale tax is a disaster. It ruined real estate in Florida and will cripple growth in South Carolina.

Schedule change

The parents of the Kennedy Middle School should call the school district and complain about why they're changing their schedule after the first nine weeks. There must be a forum.
