ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller Readers comment From our website The following is an edited selection of reader comments posted at the end of stories and columns published on-line. More can be found at www. cdispatch.com. Extended stays: Local inmate incarceration times an indicator of state-wide problem bulldog822: What I believe is missing from this report is the historical data which tells the number of inmates held before trial that do not make bond who ultimately plead guilty or are found guilty at trial. This report makes it sound like the county and state are holding innocent victims hostage in their jails, while in reality the majority of those being held have indeed com- mitted the crime and will, in the end, get credit for “time served.” An even larger problem that should be examined with delayed court hearings relates to criminals who bond out and re-offend before prosecuted. Common knowledge...Steven Jessie Harris, whether “mentally competent” to stand trial or not, did, in fact, shoot three police officers, commit murder, and stab and carjack a random citizen. That was witnessed and corrob- orated by an unlimited number of people. Why facts like these are left out is very unclear to me. Our View: Restaurant tax compromise may save CVB funding but exposes serious flaw in Smith’s reasoning Vicky Rose: In essence, it is a new tax. Rep. Smith was correct about that. It is obvious he is trying to save face. He could just go along with the proposals, speak against it and not vote for it in the end. His vote would speak for itself for those constituents who have convinced him it is a new tax, and he agrees: No new taxes. The reality of a sales tax: Differences in sales tax rates cause consumers to shop in other cities. The majority of people who will pay the sales tax are residents of Lowndes County - not the visitors. Yes, you are putting a burden on the residents by adding a new tax. If the residents want it, why isn’t it a ballot initiative? Right now you have a board begging for money, that needs more transparency, and putting that burden on the business owners and residents of Lowndes County. Rep. Smith: Let the city and county submit what they want. Vote the way your constituents ask you to in the end, after you have done your job of voicing your concerns. If you feel it is so important that it needs to be shut-down other- wise, like already happened, all the more power to you. The voters will decide at the ballot box. Or, let the voters can decide at the ballot box with an Initiative. Our View: Programs show hope for inspiration frank: Back in ancient times when I grew up summer jobs were a great way for kids to discov- er how their schoolwork applied to the real world. Whether they were working in a retail store, helping a skilled worker, or just managing their own money for the first time, English, math, reading, history, etc. all became suddenly relevant. Sadly the legal liability system has put a major crimp on what jobs minors are allowed to do but never-the- less the importance of allowing kids to work and providing that opportunity remains important. School lets out next month. I hope those businesses that can will find a place for our students over the summer.

Senate committee OKs bill to safeguard special counsel By CHAD DAY and MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bi- partisan legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller now lies in the hands of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance it. McConnell, R-Ky., has said the bill is unnecessary and he won’t let it reach the Senate floor. But the chair- man of the Senate Judiciary Committee added to the pressure on McConnell by voting for the measure and saying McConnell should change his mind. “While my constitution- al concerns remain, I believe this bill should be considered by the full Senate,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Republicans have split on the issue amid President Donald Trump’s repeat- ed criticism of Mueller’s Russia investigation. That break was apparent Thurs- day as four Republicans joined Democrats in the 14-7 vote to pass the legislation from committee.
