A recent article in The Brunswick News indicated that the Glynn-Brunswick Land Bank is looking at the old Golden Isles Inn on U.S. Highway 17 to add to its acquisitions. This property and the abandoned trailer park next to it are eye sores that don’t present a positive impression for people …

On most days, the op-ed page has an article that makes me believe that someone in America, besides me, still can see the whole picture. Today, it was the entire page.

Did the Republicans secretly work to help elect AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to Congress? These three women have hit Pelosi like a tsunami, continually forcing her on her back foot defending their radical statements.

I have seen a copy of the Camden County ballot on the SPLOST issue next Tuesday, and it is a long one. But after three pages of scrolling through the ballot information, it asks a simple question with a choice of yes or no.

While I concur with your contention that your paper does its “best to bring our readers the news that matters to them” on local and state issues, I challenge you to say the same thing about the columns and cartoons that appear on the Commentary page.

I don’t know whether to be pleased or disappointed that, after almost two years of discussion on the matter, Glynn County’s Board of Commissioners is still talking about instituting impact fees on new development. The way the BOC drags its feet in making decisions that can benefit St. Simons…

SPLOST is a near painless means of taxation that raises funds for repair of our aging infrastructure. As the Glynn County Board of Commissioners begins choosing projects for the next SPLOST 2020, I suggest that the commissioners and Glynn voters think ahead and use the $120 million anticipat…

The GOP like to say they are standing for the Constitution and Americans’ rights, except when it comes to supporting voting rights. The GOP failed to protect Americans rights by deciding not to vote with the Democrats on a bill to protect voting and making it easier to vote.

On Feb. 28, House Bill 445, a proposal that would weaken Georgia’s Shore Protection Act, was quickly adopted by the House Natural Resources Committee without advanced public notice about the proposal, leaving no time for citizens to formulate and voice opinions.

Tony Baker in a recent Letter to the Editor quoted the dictionary definition of socialism. It was described as the government owning capital and the means of production. This is far too narrow a definition.

On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express congratulations to Glynn County Magistrate Court Judge J. Alexander Atwood Jr. on his recent appointment by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as the new commissioner of the Georgia Department of Administrative Services.

The Green New Deal deserves a three-clap applause. It’s an attempt albeit with aspects that have floated around for decades.

Thursday’s article about Jeff Jones calling for Speaker Ralston’s resignation due to abuse of the legislative leave provisions misses the point. Jones was right to call out Ralston. Speaking truth to power is necessary and, particularly in Georgia where cronyism is very much alive, political…

Expecting to see the normal flow of 20 to 30 seniors randomly drifting in during my docent shift at the new World War II Home Front Museum on Wednesday, I was greeted by a bus load of eighth-graders from Risley Middle School.

What constitutes an acceptable level of diversity in our country? We hear about this social characteristic, but do not hear any statements covering the fact that all developed nations include within their national character the belief in meritocracy.

In these days of opinions and facts and how they are expressed, you published two letters on March 5 that were interesting. One expressed opinions mixed with unproven “facts” and the other stated statistics about who pays the majority of taxes.

I was visiting Brunswick last week and noticed that your city has a new veterans park, yet there is an absence of the most important veterans associated with Brunswick. Those would be the 42 men from Glynn County who died protecting their homes, farms and families between 1861 and 1865. Thes…

The SPLOST 8 election, which is taking place now with early voting in Camden County, seems to me to be important, although I don’t hear much talk about it.

To the writer’s suggestions on how to stop jumpers, it will really not work. Security cameras need to be monitored by someone. Police officers are patrolling their area, and the officer may not be close enough to get there in time. Sensors, again the officer may be on the other side of the bridge.

Imagine my surprise and great pleasure and gratification upon reading the Monday column by the always-entertaining Terry Dickson.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money. So wrote Alexis de Tocqueville about the nascent United States of America at its founding.

I saw a report last week about how it is forbidden in Venezuela to list starvation as the cause of death for a child who has starved to death in Venezuela, a socialist government’s way of dealing with child starvation. Certainly the widespread starvation in North Korea is directly attributab…

OK, what is it going to take? It appears that another person has jumped to their death off the Sidney Lanier Bridge. This time the family is known to me.

Have you heard the Green New Deal proposed by the young, uninformed Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

We have witnessed one of the most despicable acts by the leaders in Congress that we have ever seen in the history of this country.

Terry Dickson’ s very well-written article, “Visiting real life ‘Green Book’ locations,” brought back many memories because I grew up in Brunswick in the Jim Crow South.

I just read The Brunswick News article about the new veterans park plans being 100 percent complete. I beg to differ with that report.

The recent election of two Muslim women to the House of Representatives doesn’t bode well for our country.

In Europe, “Populism” is growing as a response to what are referred to as the “Elite” who have governed as they felt best for the people, but not listening to what the people have wanted. In England, this resulted in the UK leaving the EU through BREXIT, and in Germany, Angela Merkel is losi…
