As an Anniston resident, I appreciate the many developments witnessed over the past four years under Mayor Jack Draper’s tenure. He has worked to expand recreational attractions and grow events that bring people from near and far to spend their dollars here while enjoying opportunities not f…
We would like to commend Anniston’s Ward 1 city councilman, Jay Jenkins.
I am supporting my neighbor, Jay Jenkins, for re-election as Anniston city councilman for Ward 1. Anyone who knows me knows I am not a politician, but I am a realist.
I am backing Jack Draper for mayor of Anniston and hope you will join me.
I am proud to serve with Jay Jenkins on the Health Care Authority of the City of Anniston. Jay is very thorough in everything he does. He thinks everything out. Jay was selected to chair the finance committee because of his traits, experience, level-headedness and willingness to research.
The late Rev. Woodfin K. Grove, Pastor Emeritus, said change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, it is always a challenge.
Bob Folsom gets my vote for mayor of Anniston.
Anniston’s leadership for the next four years will be selected in less than two weeks. Leadership matters. Our city leaders represent us — you and me. It is critically important that we select men and women qualified by competence, integrity and vision. I encourage you to support Robert B. (…
Elections require serious thought. Experience is at the top of my list when I evaluate the candidates for Anniston mayor and my ward representative. If you think otherwise, please remember 2008, the Gene Robinson, John Spain and David Dawson debacle. All were newcomers in city government. Th…

In reference to Mr. Billy Price, "We need experience, not a coach, in Senate." As an avid reader of this newspaper, I, Gary Hayes, have agreed with most of your editorials that you have had published in this paper. Now I have to disagree with you on Tommy Tuberville. This isn't about a coach…
I am disappointed and perplexed — not that anyone cares. What are we to do, those of us who recycle responsibly? There are not enough folks who are willing to pay for curbside recycling.
Recently, several so-called hard-nosed, right-winged Conservative Republicans have filled the Speak Out section of The Anniston Star with blames for everything on Democrats and progressive thinkers of this community. I have decided to give my opinions about why they feel a need to target Dem…
Will Alabama ever learn? We’re still seeing “tough on crime” and “criminals hate me” political ads. We are answering unconstitutional prison systems by building more prisons that will probably be full the day they open and over-full and short-staffed in the first year. No criminal justice re…
