The overall inmate to guard ratio is 3 to 1 throughout the state, but I know that working at Auburn Correctional at night, one supervisor and three officers are watching 600 inmates. Nothing against the Auburn police - yea, they can use more people - but that ratio is not true everywhere you go.

Did you know that to reserve or rent a pavilion at Emerson Park, that it's $400 - you get $200 back from security deposit, plus a parking fee. I am very disappointed with the kind of taxes I pay in Cayuga County that I would have to pay that kind of a fee.

My son is 18, has a cell phone and is very responsible when using it, and if there were ever an emergency, yes I would immediately be there for him. Your problem probably stems from the fact that your child wants a cell phone, you're too cheap to get them one and now you want to blame the rest of the population for our use of cell phones with your ramblings of nonsense.

On Wednesday, the Two Cents that talks about the NRA and that they want you to own any gun, anytime, anywhere, is a bald-faced lie. I have been a member of the NRA for at least the last 20 years and as far as I'm concerned if these people want to tell lies, they should at least give their names.

Judy, bullseye on Stearn's motives. But aren't you just a little curious to see if Stearns can communicate at all once Plume is gone?

Do you get the feeling that those in the state capital and the national capital that are your so-called representatives are out for themselves and their pet programs? The only time they are interested in us is when we vote, and then we are their sweethearts and we are the intelligent public who cannot go wrong, provided we vote for them.

When they have the council meetings on the television, you can't even hear what they're saying. I think they better look into that - something must be wrong.

I believe the school taxes should not be raised due to the extra income from the reassessment and the state giving record aid to the schools.

Kudos to Mayor Tim Lattimore for having the good sense and foresight to promptly form a bi-partisan committee task force to take action to prevent a Virginia Tech situation from happening in our community.

Ultra-liberal Don Imus makes racial quotes like that every day on his show, but the admitted 95 percent liberal media made a big thing out of this one because it wanted to cover up the coming story that would have embarrassed and exposed the liberal media as being enablers of the Democrat Party politics of victimology and race baiters like Jackson and Sharpton.

Shame on you for printing the sick ramblings of Karl Logan. It is this kind of disgusting hate which eventually leads to tragedies such as we have seen happen recently at Virginia Tech.

Real education must ultimately be limited to people who insist on knowing - the rest is mere sheep herding.

Slow down people on highways and especially Grant Avenue. People are walking and children playing on side streets.

In yet another fine example of liberal PC “do as I say not as I do” bias, The Citizen feels the need to rebuke the Senecas for adopting Democrat talking points. Anti-American, anti-capitalist leftists get a free pass in your paper for painting our sitting wartime president as Hitler and Satan as well as federal Democrat senators and representatives referring to our troops as Nazi storm troopers and baby killers.

I'd like to know when some of these potholes here in Auburn are going to get repaired. They are really ruining our cars, I think it's time the city gets their act together and does something about these potholes.

Come on Fingerlakes Mall, let's get some more stores out at the mall. We've got a lot of empty spaces, what's going on?

I would like the state of New York to tell The Citizen how many wind turbines could have been installed for $7 million as opposed to six water ones.

I believe the school taxes should not be raised due to the extra income from the reassessment and the state giving record aid to the schools.

The media is incorrectly labeling this Virginia Tech thing as being the largest mass murder in U.S. history. What about all those women and children - 84 people - murdered at Waco?
