Holk right to write opinion


I defend Brett Holk’s right to write a letter about the finances in Orange Beach, even if it did upset the mayor and a couple other council people. He was right when he reported things just like they happened and it’s a shame his letter to the editor wasn’t in the paper before they purchased The Wharf.

Be ready to pay taxes

I hope everyone who got money from BP put some aside for Uncle Sam. My federal and state taxes equaled 18 percent of what I got and you were always told it would be taxed. So if you don’t have it, it’s your own fault.

EMA in crisis mode

What’s wrong with the Baldwin County Commission? First they demote the best, most qualified emergency management agency director in the state. Then they make a political appointment of a first-responder to take her place, then fire or lay her off. Then they ask the state to help with staffing when they had one of the most qualified persons in the state on hand. What is the logic in all this?

Glad Holk opposed purchase

I’m calling about Brett Holk’s letter. I think it was wonderful. I’m so glad someone is finally speaking out against the mayor and the other council members down there. I own property down there in Orange Beach and it’s not fun for them to go up on taxes to pay the debts they’re overspending. They’re beginning to look like Obama. Brett Holk, I admire you tremendously, you and the lady that voted against purchasing The Wharf. Thank you.

Questions finances for condo

I just want to know, if Steve Nodine is indigent and has no money and has to have a court-appointed attorney, how can he afford to move from Mobile County to Orange Beach in a condo? That seems to me it would be more expensive than wherever he was living in Mobile. There’s a problem that needs to be checked into.

How’s Nodine paying rent?

What about Nodine moving from Mobile to the condo? How is he paying rent when he can’t afford a lawyer? I don’t understand how the law would let him do that. Why don’t they put him in jail where he belongs?

Some can’t afford condo

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying citizen and I can’t afford a condo in Orange Beach. I’ve never been accused of murder. Steve Nodine is living the good life. If the Baldwin County DA’s Office doesn’t have enough evidence to convict this guy, why don’t they go ahead and let him start on his book and his memoirs? When will this saga end?

Tenure laws under review

What gives Trip Pittman any right to try to take away the public school teachers’ rights and put them in a bad light? If he wants to take away teachers’ rights and get them fired, where if someone has a problem they can just walk in and talk to the principal and they can be fired on the spot; sure, the superintendents and principals want that right. They want to be able to hire and fire who they want to without any cause or reason.
