We read with interest Taylor Cooper’s Dec. 2 article “IPC grapples with density on St. Simons.”

Someone was recently glorifying Uncle Joe’s first year in office. However his greatest accomplishments were left out — the first being, due to his Trump derangement syndrome, writing executive order’s to cancel everything President Trump accomplished.

For all the years of talk from politicians about getting things done for Georgia, Democrats are putting their money where their mouths are.

“The End Times” or “Holiday Season?” Shove in line for a merry, greedy “Black Friday” season?

In the May meeting of the county commissioners, I gave a presentation addressing traffic on St. Simons.

Western democratic ideals teach us values — liberty and justice — that where there is more liberty there must be less justice; that where there is more justice there must be less liberty; that this must be worked out in compromise, otherwise bloodshed.

I am in total agreement with all the letters to hold off development of Jekyll Island.

The Letter to the Editor from Susan Inman of 100 Miles was filled with misinformation and innuendo.

The Jekyll Island Authority must understand that more hotels and condos are not what brings people to Jekyll Island. It is the allure of the island itself.

Brunswick is one of the best, well-trained police departments anywhere, but there are not enough police to catch all the violators. Here is what I observed in just one week on dash cam.

One of my favorite memories over the past 40 years has been watching the kids and parents cruising on the Frederica Road sidewalks. So many people use it as their walking trail with their dogs and their children. That will end if commissioners attempt to force a roundabout on it.

There is a rumor out that, buried in Biden’s 2,400 page Build Back Better Plan, is $100 million to close down the U.S. Capitol building and convert it to an autonomous “safe-sanctuary” zone for illegal immigrants.

America is rebounding, the economy is strong, and jobs are coming back, but you wouldn’t know that if you only listen to Republican naysayers who are trying to hold the recovery back, and the right wing groups and media who echo their empty rhetoric, misinformation and lies.

Jekyll Island State Park holds a delicate balance between nature and development that you can’t help but fall in love with. On Jekyll Island residential homes, hotels and undeveloped land share space, but how much development is too much for a state park that has had over a million visitors a year.

How can there be excessive development on Jekyll Island if there’s a legal limit on the number of acres that can be developed? This question may sound like a ‘Zen riddle,’ but the fact is the limit on the number of developable acres on Jekyll has been ineffective in preventing overdevelopmen…

What did the Republican president and Congress accomplish with their majority and presidency? They passed tax reductions for the wealthiest citizens and corporations. They were unable to pass a proposed universal health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), pay for a wall…

Veterans Day approaches, and I write this with hope that it may serve someone on a similar path to the one I have traveled.

The traffic consultant’s recommendation for a roundabout at the intersection of Frederica and Sea Island roads is, in my opinion, a sterile one. I doubt they considered the fact this must be one of the prettiest major intersections in the southeast. It is understandable that such things woul…

The Glynn County Commissioners and Public Works Department need to take a drive down the Old Jesup Road. Yes, it is in Glynn County. Just be really careful, the sides have many holes as there has been no maintenance for an exceedingly long time.

Once again I find myself amused by something other than the comic page in The Brunswick News. The Letter to the Editor written by someone who I am sure believes they have everyone’s best interest in mind as they show their concern about the so-called rise in sea levels.

The annual fundraiser, the Fête for Haiti, was another success. On behalf of the board of directors, officers and members of Helping Hugs, Inc., I want to thank our community and our wonderful businesses that have been so supportive of the people of Haiti. We are now eager to begin a new yea…

Wow! Those were high tides this past weekend.

I’m a retired teacher of English, history and theater arts who moved to Brunswick from Massachusetts 16 years ago.

Donald Trump warned voters that were Joe Biden elected, markets would crash and 401Ks would disappear. The facts show otherwise. For the first nine-plus months of Trump’s term in office, the S&P 500 increased about 14%. Not bad, but for the same period of Biden as President, the S&P …

For all the self-designated influencers in Glynn County I have a question. How many homeless people have you sheltered in your house? I can claim four.

Every neighborhood will from time to time see a yellow “Public Hearing” sign. Please do not ignore these signs. The subject matter might not affect you directly today, but the vote of the one of the county’s planning commissions and the Glynn County Board of Commissioners may create a tenden…

As a property owner who witnesses “Frat Beach” from ground zero each year, I was disappointed to see that law enforcement did literally nothing to enforce the law. Despite banning alcohol on the beach, and despite state law prohibiting underage alcohol possession, it was business as usual.

The number of acres eligible for new commercial and residential development on Jekyll Island is restricted, but surprisingly, there are no legal limits on redevelopment of the island. Without controls on redevelopment, the door remains open for dense, character-altering reconstruction of the…

A recent article concerning the high price of gasoline in the Golden Isles contained misleading information. The author states that the reason for high prices is that OPEC and American oil producers are tightening production. This is only accurate for OPEC. American oil production has yet to…
