"OK, Turkey Hill, the snow storms are over. How about cleaning the snow off your pavement so people don’t have to walk out on the street. What about your air pump? What kind of business place are you?"

"How in the name of God, can the school board members vote 7-0 to increase taxes again? This is unbelievable. When does this end? We are in a recession and many people have lost their jobs. And if they have jobs, most likely their wages have been frozen so they have no increase in their take home pay and are on very tight fixed incomes. People are having a hard time just to pay for food, clothes, utilities, and their rent or mortgage. Do you school board members have taken any of these issues into consideration? I guess not."

"Milk cows don’t milk the taxpayers. We need a new party in there. Listen people, we need a new party. They’re both killing us."

"I’m a resident of Highspire all my life and I’m in my late 70s. I would like to say, I think our council and our mayor should walk the streets of Highspire with their heads hung high because they are very good at what they do every year and that is raise taxes. First for a playground, the next year for a truck, they next year for the fire company, next year for a police car. Every year it’s something. They never think about cutting back or cutting costs. We are losing residents faster than you can count and the town is filthy dirty because no one looks after it. They raise all our taxes. Sewer has gone up almost double and the garbage isn’t picked up half the time. That’s all I have to say, I think they should be very proud of what they do."

"Why is it that there are a handful of miserable people always complaining? I have lived in this town all my life and have seen good councils and bad councils, and as much as I hate higher taxes and utility rates, such as water sewer and electric, the fact is you end up paying more if they do not take care of their infrastructure. Cases with other communities show it will only cost you more in the long run. It seems as if the town started a wonderful transformation only to be hindered by a select few newcomers on council that wish to throw it back in the hands of slumlords. Ask around, never have we had our town run down as we did during the Louer/Rhen era and now it seems we will be starting the process all over. I pray daily for my beautiful town.”

“To the party that told us to move if we don't like it here, it is Lakeside Drive not Market Street Extended. By the way, you might as well just sign your name. Believe me, we know whose side you’re on.”
----
“To all of you out there who profess to be such good Christian people, why don't you start by not judging people and spreading rumors? Apparently you don't know the story about casting the first stone. Maybe you ought to spend more time reading your Bible instead of talking about people.”
----
“Mr. Louer, at least you have some forward thinking, rather than having low income housing only spread through out the borough in little crack apartments, let’s just build one big building and invite more. Unbelievable!”
----
“You get what you pay for and in turn you will get what you deserve.”
----
“To the person always complaining about coaches playing favorites (and not your child), which sport are you talking about?”
----
“High five for the anger management suggestion for game visitor and home seats tantrum. Grow up, no one needs a fan like you, grouch. Don't go and you won't be bothered. Selfish acts.”
----
“Coaches at all levels will always have favorites, especially their own, good or bad. Just remember that even if kids don't get a lot of play, to be part of a team and the exercise is all part of growing up. Coaches can be bullies and kids can be cruel.”
----
“Who pays for the gas and maintenance of the fire chief vehicles? Every morning around 6:30 a.m. the Highspire Fire Chief vehicle is driven to the city of Harrisburg, why?”
----
“Jim Nardo is a great man. I love the plans he has for Jamesway Plaza and the old AP Green site. Jim, keep up the good work.”
----
“When I was young you used to be taught that there is no I in team. Now that I am older you realize that there is no team at all. Everyone is out for themselves, especially when it comes to the big time corporations. Therefore, I have learned a new motto and will pass it on to all children: Forget team there is only one person that matters and that is I! If you care about team you get nowhere.”
----
“Corporate America is full of greed.”
----
“I wanted to give a big shout out to the individuals at the bank in Jamesway. Those folks up there do a great job at customer service. Thanks Kurt, Mary, Joyce, Cindy, Scott and Adrienne.
----
“To the person who complained about the police removing chairs from shoveled parking places on Pine St. Here’s some info for you. We don't live in a township. We live in a borough. And I happen to think the borough employees did a great job with the two back-to-back storms that we had. You have probably never worked the number of hours that they had to work to keep up with those conditions. In fact, you probably couldn't even stay awake the amount of hours those employees worked without rest. Lazy is definitely not the word I would use to describe these individuals.”
----
“Congrats, Middletown, for becoming the first Section 8 community in Dauphin County. Thank your administration and your electric utility leaders.”
----
“Spring is almost here, I can hear the skateboards warming their engines! I can't wait to here all the complaints from all you Middletown whiners. Get over it!”
----
“You can't ‘cherry-pick’ God's rules. That's priceless. Follow your advice. Next time your child misbehaves, take him to the townspeople and have him stoned to death. If your daughter is raped, force her to marry her rapist and have the rapist compensate you for the depreciation of your property (your daughter). All of you Christians, cherry-pick God's rules. That's what Christianity is. Why won't you do what I wrote above? Because it's wrong and you know it! But it's in the Bible. God's word. You refuse to do it! You just cherry-picked God's word! What great morality that book called the Bible must be to filled with stuff like that!”

“Jiggle guy here again, I want to let everybody know that since the snow and cold weather are clearing up, now is the best time to start jogging and getting back in shape for the summer. I will be the brightest white guy at the beach, but I want people to say ‘look at that really white guy,’ not ‘Look at that really white fat dude.’ If you can't run, at least go for a walk. I'm starting tonight, I'll post updates with my progress every so often. With that being said, I'm 200 pounds at a short 5 feet 6 inches now. My goal is to be 175 pounds by May 1st. I want to encourage everybody to join me, it can only help in the long run - no pun intended.”
----
“It's amazing that I can keep the electric portion of my utility bill under $150 a month for a house, and yet people can't seem to take enough steps to lower theirs than $450. Here is my secret: turn stuff off.”
----
“Why do all of you complain so much? Get off the computer, and whatever you're complaining about, fix it.”
----
“John Patton, you and the Middletown Citizens for Responsible Government did absolutely nothing for this borough. Stop patting yourself on the back. Not one thing has changed, same old high bills. Mission accomplished. George Bush used the same line, you moron, and our boys are still in Iraq.”
----
“Sarah Palin, president? What a joke, she can't even speak without writing it on her hand.”
----
“President Louer, don't you think it is your responsibility to control the meetings? To allow the mentally incompetent to ramble on is ridiculous, or is it that [so] you can relate?”
----
“Isn't it odd that people living in government subsidized housing would complain about their electric bills again to the borough? Why would you not be complaining to your slumlord to fix your old apartment up? Once again the imports have defamed our precious town.”
----
“You claim the custodian takes milk money from kids and all you do is Sound Off. Obviously, your claim is baseless and you're some kind of nut job. Maybe you're having flashbacks to when you were a kid and deserved to get beat up everyday.”
----
“Has anyone else looked at PPL’s price to compare list? It is very confusing to purchase a generation provider. Just generation prices alone range from 9.89 cents to over 13 cents if you want renewable energy, with all kinds of in-between prices, higher prices after three months, and then you have early cancellation fees up to $300 on some. I think a lot of these companies are trying to hook you in and once you are there, they got you. I am not sure if the extra penny or two is really worth it.
