Whatever the motivations of FBI Director Comey were, he has single-handily, forever tainted the reputation of the very last (supposedly independent, apolitical) federal agency. Whether valid or not, the vast majority of Americans perceive the decision as the result of corruption, if not with…
Did we establish that there would be no additional cost to public safety for fire protection equipment by raising the building height 5 feet? Are we assured that we will not have to buy a new ladder truck for fire protection to cover the top floor? We need to make sure there’s no impact on t…
I agree with the person who wrote about having the farmer’s market at the Aiken Mall. Having it there meets everyone’s needs, and it supports the mall.
I am amazed how “bicycle unfriendly” this area is, and how much the issue polarizes people. Anyone who has visited Europe and many progressive areas of the U.S. will see bike lanes, bike paths and more fit people. South Carolina is in the top 10 of obese states. We should be encouraging all …

Daylight Saving Time is great. Kids go to school in the dark in the winter, so what is wrong with them going to school in the dark when the time changes?
Step aside The thrill is gone. This administration is corrupt. We need them all to step down, step aside. Nobama Where can I get a bumper sticker made which would read "Nobama"? Totmom What a miscarriage of justice. These jurors apparently wanted a video of the crime to convict. Should we no…
Listen to God God says we must pray for each other and not backlash each other. 'The 700 Club' To the person who said "The 700 Club" should be removed from channel 26, maybe you should try watching it sometime. Maybe the Lord has a message for you. Litterbugs Thank you to the volunteers who …
MCG vs. ARMC Pray tell why the accident victims in the accident on New Holland Road were transported to MCG in Augusta, rather than to ARMC which is much closer. Who makes this decision? Milky spores I put milky spores all over my lawn and it has kept the moles away, but where I didn't put t…
