Ed: “In regarding the the obnoxious odor encompassing the north end and I assume the Fort Gratiot area. Yes you are correct, millions and millions of gallons of manure are being spread on farmers’ fields after completion of the winter wheat crop harvest and if wind conditions are favorable this fall harvest you may get that obnoxious smell again.”

A Taxpayer: “I just got done reading the article about the opiates and the woman that overdosed at least four times, probably more. At what point in time does an adult take responsibility for their actions in life and society quits paying for them?”

No Name: “A big shout out and thank you for Clean Cut Lawn Maintenance for saving the fence in Holland Woods School. Now if we could just get the school board to save all the trees that are infested with the nasty, wild grape vines that choke the tree to death. Please save our woods.”

No Name: “I went to Port Huron to shop at Kroger. Thank you to the little lady who paid for my groceries Friday afternoon.”

Elaine: “Special Thanks to the gentleman who paid for my plants at Lowe’s on Saturday. It was a very nice.”

No Name: “I have a question that I don’t know if anyone can answer. Why aren’t the telephone companies held responsible for giving people these numbers that the minute they call you, it’s disconnected already? How can they do that? A lot of times it’s an 810 number. I don’t know why the government or somebody stop the phone companies from allowing those people to do that? To me, it’s illegal and you know it has to be a hoax or scam.”

The phone companies aren’t giving scammers temporary phone numbers. The scammers are tricking your caller ID to display the wrong number. It’s illegal but the technology to stop it doesn’t exist. The FCC levied an $82 million fine against Philip Roesel of Wilmington, North Carolina, this month for pestering people with 21 million robocalls sent with fake caller ID.

Ruth from Port Huron: “The Secret Service is complaining about the Trumps having to have so much money spent watching all of their family members. I’d like to know how many Secret Service people were watching when the Kennedys were in office. You manage to always come up with something wrong against Donald Trump or his family and you’re very obvious.”

The person complaining was Trump’s appointee, Randolph “Tex” Alles. You can’t really compare how many agents guarded President John Kennedy because the laws and the agency have changed a lot since then. In November 1963, the Secret Service had about 350 employees. Today, it has more than 6,500.

Concerned City Taxpayer: “I see the city of Port Huron fenced off Palmer Park, all that empty grass, open wide space parking areas so all those nasty Float Down people wouldn’t have a place to park. That’s not a great PR move for the city of Port Huron.”
