Who's Lutz's Person of the Year?

TIME magazine named President Obama their person of the year for the second time. Tell us who you think should win from our town.

On Dec. 19, Time magazine named President Obama their Person of the Year— again!

The magazine invited votes on 40 candidates, including the president, Gabby Douglas and Kim Jong Un. Other options included The Mars Rover and the Higgs Boson Particle, Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, and Apple CEO Tim Cook. But, the president took the title again, four years after he first won the award as president-elect in 2008.

But who cares about the same-old, same-old? Who is Lutz's Person of the Year—the man or woman who most influenced the community this year?

Tell us your pick in the comment section below.

Although I would have liked to see them choose Malala, seriously, "same-old, same-old"? As if there's someone in Lutz who's making a difference in comparison to people like the president or Malala. Time to unsubscribe from the Lutz Patch. You have officially become ridiculous.

So sorry you feel that way, RD. While it's hard to top the accomplishments of President Obama and other Time nominees, we do have plenty of people right here in Lutz that make a difference every day in the community. We'd just like to put a spotlight on them.

I think this is a wonderful idea and I would like to nominate Tianna Madison from your "Best of 2012" article. She is inspirational and I could not imagine a bigger stage than the Olympics - a worldwide event with the victory belonging to someone from Lutz?! That seems like a big deal to me. Sorry RD does not see that.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Katie!

the question is - would any of these laws prevent the people who already get guns illegally anywayRead More from getting them now ? If not what is the point of the law - more gov't?

Great Photo! Is that the setup we'll be supplying to first grade teachers nationwide? Is the NRARead More gonna chip in with a few mags? Some bullets? Body bags what ? If the black helicopters do come for you your little ak-47 + all the bullets you can afford on your little paycheck just ain't gonna do the trick. and just who are you gonna shoot at? Your kid or the one down the street that just joined the service a few days, weeks, months, or years ago? You know that kid , he's the one that wanted to Serve his country. Is he the one you want to shoot? Is she the one that scares you? Fact is you and me just don't need these kinds of vicious killing machines.

you anti-gunners are so full of never mind I am old enough to remember before there were over 40Read More thousand gun laws on the books and Americans didn't have the kind of problems that we have now not until the government got envolved did we start having all the crime that we have now. Question if the almost 40 thousand gun laws haven't made things better maybe it time to look some where else beside the government and the dumbing down of American youth. Yeah they got a degree in some sort of liberal art that was suppose to make a difference now we have a bunch of educated drug dealers but here's the stickler they just think their educated. the individual with the common sense is the one making the money and they weren't government educated with faux degrees.
