EDITOR'S NOTE: Below is a selection of responses shared by readers of MDJOnline.com in reaction to recent MDJ stories ...

Angelucci blows past Borden in heated race in school board race ...

NewName wrote - Oh, I'll bet those cars never get Georgia tags now.

AboutTheKids wrote - It's a sad day for the kids in Cobb County. One step forward...two steps back.

NCHS Mom wrote -Congratulations to Kathleen! And to the parents who now have a REAL advocate for our kids. Kathleen has been in the trenches for us for a long time, she is definitely not some "Billy come lately." Now we just need to get rid of LCE next!

Alaska is waiting wrote - Where are all of the Borden supporters this morning tell us how misunderstood he is and making more excuses for him? (Mayors Mark) Matthews and (Tommy) Allegood, it's time for you to go and take the other sitting council members with you that continued to openly support this guys when he violated Georgia state law.

NE Cobb mom wrote - Loser Bill is just that. When you act like a 5 year old and blame everyone else for your problems, I can't even imagine him sitting on a school board.

CongratsKA wrote -Congratulations to Mrs. Angelucci! You have a HARD job ahead of you, restoring this district to what it once was - at least better than it is now. Teacher morale is in the toilet.

Anonymous wrote - The MDJ has done enough damage? Sure, Brenda, it's all the paper's fault that you and Bill have successfully skirted the law. And Bill, about your Election Day Facebook post that you haven't said anything negative about your opponent? I distinctly recall hearing you cut down your opponent back in the spring as being "just a mom." You also bashed her to me at Rotary. You never had me fooled for a minute.

Be Careful wrote - It amazes me that Borden does not accept ANY responsibility for his situation. I'm laughing so hard this morning. And I bet Mark Mathews and Tommy Allegood are the next ones to go. Now, let's see all the business organizations and clubs he belongs to kick him out for his unethical business practices.

East Cobb voter wrote - It is refreshing to see that character, honesty and values do still matter. They showed that when they did not vote for Borden. He probably still doesn't get it.

NewName wrote - One potential crisis averted! Looking forward to Crowder-Eagle's face when she is joined at the table by some of the new folks. Mr. Borden, please don't blame the MDJ for your self-inflicted woes.

Dustoff wrote - Now let's see if the county makes good, and makes Borden register his vehicles and get a business license. Bet his mayor buddies have egg on their faces this morning!

Mike's wife wrote - Congrats to MDJ! They did the job the press is supposed to do - present the facts. If you look back over that interview with Borden, they gave him ample opportunities to address the issues and defend himself. The truth is the truth, and you don't blame the messenger if you don't like what you hear.

Hee Hee Hee wrote - I love it! What scares me is that Borden got more than five votes! Let's see, him, his wife, the two mayors and Abraham. Who else?

Lee tops Savage for chairman ...

Dustoff wrote - OK Tim, now you are in charge so step up and show us you are a good leader, demand that (Public Safety Director) Mickey Lloyd either prove he was in Vietnam and has proof of the awards he claims or fire his butt. Betcha you won't do a darn thing about it, business as usual!

Soccer mom wrote - I just hope that Tim Lee remembers who voted for him and not who financed his campaign.

Cantonroad wrote - Great choices left in District 3 - a road rage wacko or a corporate lobbyist.

Tippins tops Wiles ...

DEAR JOHN wrote - GOOD-BYE Did it to yourself big guy. Became sooo self important. Maybe you can help your ole friend Diane Busch the way she has helped you. Great voting record. WHAT A SHAME!

Givemeliberty wrote - Maybe Mr. Wiles will think twice the next time he wants to "influence" someone based on his over-inflated opinion of himself and his title. The single reason I cast a vote AGAINST Mr. Wiles was his actions in the under-age drinking debacle.

West Cobb Resident wrote - This race was about character. We know what type of man Lindsey Tippins is.

Mike Jones wrote - Come on Lindsey why stop here? The Governors Mansion on West Paces Ferry road has your name on all over it.

Regarding Bill Borden.........The primaries have been over almost a month. I noticed today that Bill Borden still has his campaign signs up all over NE Cobb - only candidate that does. Hopefully, it won't take him as long to take the signs down as it did to get his vehicles registered in Georgia. Maybe he can squeeze in a trip around to collect them between his trips back and forth to Alaska.

A Tippins in the hand is better than a Wiles in the Busch anyday! Bye, John.
