CRESTVIEW — Numerous crestviewbulletin.com and Facebook readers shared their thoughts on the presidential election, a proposed Okaloosa County tax increase and sports jargon. Here are some of their comments.
WATCH 'ANIMAL FARM'
Listening to Harry Reid, I realized the importance of term limits. What is happening to Democratic members of Congress is that they fear the Republican-controlled Congress will respond to victory in the same manner they did in 2009.
And that President Trump will follow President Obama's example and use executive orders when he wants to accomplish his own objectives.
I submit that every American member of Congress should be required to watch the movie “Animal Farm,” based on George Orwell's book, “Animal Farm,” every morning.

WASN’T ON THE BALLOT
They are proposing a full 1 cent increase (1/2 cent for the school and 1/2 cent for the county). If they wanted to put this up for a vote, it should have been on the November ballot. Now they are wanting to allow only five cities’ registered voters to decide.
What does the (Greater Fort Walton Beach) Chamber of Commerce have to do with legislation? Why was this also not presented to all the cities’ councils to vote on?
I attend the meetings in Laurel Hill and it was not voted on.

NEW SPORTS JARGON
I had to look up "libero" (a defensive player), which is a new word for this old volleyball player.
