Sound Off highlights anonymous, brief takes on the news offered via telephone by Daily News readers.
If the Belhaven Town Council wants to save itself some money, maybe it should get rid of the officers who ride three to a car.
Bishop Jones is asking the city for $50,000 in public funds to try to run the program that his church started. Churches should be doing that as a free volunteer purpose, not paying salaries and fringe benefits to staff members. Looks like it’s more about looking out for themselves than helping somebody. I don’t think public funds should be used for this purpose.
I keep seeing workers working on the county and city buildings in man-lifts. They’re wearing harnesses, but they’re not tied off. I don’t think OSHA goes along with that. You might want to have somebody do something about it before they get a big fine.
