I would really like to know where all the tax money and lottery revenue is going in this state. Our roads and highways are in the worst condition they've been in over 20 years.

Just a reminder to the voters before the election in May concerning the state Treasurer's election, don't forget the lucrative land deal that John Perdue had with Doug Pauley in Mason County.

    "On Election Day, I will only vote for one person -- President Obama. I'm afraid if I vote for anyone else I might be voting for a Republican since you can't tell one from the other in West Virginia".

    A reasonable approach. But I'm also voting for whoever is running against Manchin and Tomblin in the primary.

    But in the general, if the choice is between those guys and a crazy republican, I'm not voting.

    Let me add a little to this otherwise EXCELLENT comment:


    The Republicans are whining about President Obama creating hype and "spiking the ball" regarding eliminating bin Laden. I don't remember any of them saying anything nine years ago when George Bush strutted around in his flight suit on the deck of an aircraft carrier with a "Mission Accomplished" sign in the background WHEN HE HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT THE MISSION EVEN WAS".

    Vote out ALL incumbents. They keep running ads stating what needs to be done and they will do it. Why haven't they done it in all the years they have "served".

    There needs to be a MAJOR AUDIT of the lottery system because for all the money that they say they have made it's because no one hits unless they live in Parkersburg or some Northern city.According to their list on their website the only way to win around Cross Lanes is if you play at the track.For 3yrs running no one in Cross Lanes hit a 3 or 4 digit number except at the track.But regardless there aren't enuff winners for the amount played into it.They try to act like they don't know where the winning tickets are going but each one has a bar code so they know which ones are winners&for how much.Fixed.

    There's always Mickey Mouse. He may have to hold several offices simultaneously.

    I'd like to know if there is anyway we can get a noise ordinance in ALL of Cabin Creek. Its not fair to people that have to work to be awakened by the neighbors loud music when all they do is lay around doing drugs and drinking. This is getting ridiculous and i'd appreciate if the police could look into this matter SERIOUSLY!!!!

    @BadGal

    Sorry to tell you but these people are obama's chosen people. He gives them all the "obama money" they need and they vote for him. They will be with us forever. You will have to move.
