How dare that person tell us elders how to spend and not spend our money. If we want to have some fun it's our business seeing as how we earned it.

Auburn prison in the last 50 years hasn't caused any more crime or prostitution or drugs in Auburn, only jobs. Why wouldn't the casino do the same thing?

Most of us recall that during times of war patriotism meant a freeze on wages, right? Yet Senator Nozzolio is instead demanding the guards get their three years of pay increases (11 percent) due them because he'd stand to lose too many votes and that would mean he'd probably not be re-elected the next time up.

I always thought there was a city ordinance where lawn mowers, etc., could not be used until 8 a.m. There is nothing like being awakened by a jackhammer outside your window at 7:15 a.m.!

There is a lot of work to be done at Emerson Park. Fix the beach and put in more trees and more picnic tables, have bands and singers - professional and beginners - to make the park fun, and clean it up.

When your reporter put the names and pictures of the officers making the arrest in the drug bust did it ever occur to anyone that you just put those who protect us in danger and risk for the future. It would have made more sense to black out the officers' pictures and not release the officers names.

We all want a $500,000 house, Alpha Romeo car, and Dior clothes. There is a big difference between need and want, such as artificial turf.

The Auburn school district should spend more money on helping students learn and grow. Keep more money in the taxpayers wallets and not install fake grass, called AstroTurf.

I would like to know why Assemblyman Finch and Senator Nozzolio haven't obtained the necessary funding for the Cayuga County Soil and Water District, so they can fix or buy a new aquatic weed control machine, so they can eliminate the overgrowth of weeds on all the lakes in Cayuga County.

I'm sure not many people want to stand around the high school and watch games.

The U.S. should save the world by giving the U.N. a 30-day notice to take their statue of a revolver with a knot tied in the barrel and their MP9 machine pistols and bullet-proof cars and get their butts out of America. Let them get the hundreds of millions of dollars the N.S. has been giving them from North Korea, Iran, Syria, Africa and ... ?

I wish someone would tell Fox News, CNN, et/al to stop describing what businesses, apartment buildings, detailed locations of where the rockets hit or missed. Hezbollah couldn't ask for better spotters for adjusting their aim.

Mayor Lattimore and people of interest, read page C3 on Monday's The Citizen. The girl who works in Auburn or the Finger Lakes when asked where she sees herself in 10 years - “out of Auburn.”
