Have heard that Yarber doesn't have the votes to pass his incomplete plan. FWIW.
Starting to believe the Mayor is not all he was supposed to be. Very disappointed in his efforts, or lack thereof, over the last several months. Talk is cheap....and his short tenure is proof of that. But he's never missed a good photo opp.
Maybe it is the makeup of the Commission that is the problem instead of the Mayor. I believe some of them have other interest at heart instead of what is best for Jackson.
@9:25 You are damned right, "talk is cheap". Tell the tax commission to get into action, NOW.
I hope the Mayor takes his attorney along. I expect he will receive a response, but likely with addendums to the city's proposal.
10:58. If you have something to say, you should say it rather than insinuate behind your 'anonymous self'. Just who do you think one that Commission has another interest at heart rather than what is best for Jackson? I would suggest that everyone on the commission lives and as far as I know works in Jackson. And except for two (City public works director and President of JSU) they have all lived in Jackson for decades.
So - please tell me who has personal interests at heart rather than what's good for Jackson.
Does the City have to do any work, prepare plan, request funds or keep records? If any yes forget it.
10:58 - Buhler?? Buhler? No, of course not. Just crickets.
Why didn't anyone else join Pete Perry in voting no? They voted on a plan without full knowledge of what would be funded....Perry is the only one on that board with some sense and with the best interest at heart in the Bold New Citaaay.
There was a motion to begin work on some 30 of the Mayor's selected projects, but to have further discussion on six of them. Perry made the motion - it failed 5 to 4. More discussion with the Mayor bullying everyone with a take it or leave it, and the final vote was 8 to 1. Perry objecting.
Folks afraid of having the 'scarlet R' on their forehead, I guess, made them lose their balls.
No one joined Pete Perry because everyone knows Perry is an idiot!
Now sit back, relax and watch the special tax dollars get squandered.
Why should the taxpayers of Jackson foot the bill to pave County Line Road? It all started with Dale Danks administration. If they had left it 2 lanes, you wouldn't have had the economic boom in Madison County along the County Line Road area. I'm in favor of letting it get potholes like the rest of the city! Start with the streets that really, really need it!
Young Harvey Yarber will address areas that aren't as bad as others, like Eastover, in order to pay off the power brokers that helped put him into office.
10:10 - guess you are calling Duckworth, ONeal and Bohner as idiots too, since they joined Perry on the vote to hold back on a few of the Mayor's demands.
You must be one of the McD dumbasses. Get over your man-hate and look at the issue on its face.
