Sound Off for October 7, 2016

Mass sell-off

The ice will completely melt after Jan. 1. If the freeze is voted out there will be no more freezes after Jan. 1. There would be a lot of homes for sale.

Involuntary subsidy

It's easy to see why Columbus hasn't had any significant growth in decades. Our welcome mats have the neighbors' property tax bills stashed underneath them.

Phenix City has the best garbage pick-up in the world. They are on time and concise and they do it well. Good job Phenix City.
