Dear editor,

Aw, come on governor.

Well, as a resident of Alabama, at the insistence of higher taxes for all of us gee thanks. Good job just pushing the cigarette tax right on through. Poor folks smoke too. I hear state parks are closing; I suppose the unprivileged are now welcome to attend the fancy events that you attend. Driver’s licensing posts shut down, what’s  next?

Aw, come on governor.

You guys clearly can’t manage the tax dollars you already have.

Many people witnessed the illegal, forced and enforced closings of Victoryland, White Hall and temporarily Greentrack. Hundreds of troopers, tractor trailer trucks and now it appears you guys have to take it all back, money and all. Owners, I believe I’d recount the money.

How much did all this cost? On top of all the lost jobs.

Aw, come on, governor.

Oh, yeah. I remember the time a state job was actually a way to make a living.

Seems to me that someone who can afford to cough up two beach homes in a divorce settlement should remember those who voted for you in the first place.

Aw, come on governor.
