Great job explaining Lee! You need not explain item 2 above. Those moonbats are in a different time warp than the rest of the city.

I want to thank Senator Yancey for coming on here and giving us a recap. The esteemed Senator from Brandon will pop up here on Fridays to give us a little blurb or two from the legislature. He is doing us a favor by keeping us and the loop so please show your appreciation.

Thanks Lee. Thank you for being succinct as well, the issues are clearer and as a Reservoir resident, I am please to see you actively involved in your community.

Much appreciated.

KF,

why aren't you doing an article on the St. Dominics push to put a hospital in Madison. It seems like St. Dom's trying a little too hard to make us all think they need to be there.

Just curious as to your analysis.

!! Great post Senator and many thanks. !!

But, come on, admit it. You are a secret agent secretly in the employ of John McGowan and his evil Working Partners. We all know that item #2 above is only offered to throw us off of your scent. You'll feel much better if you just man up and tell us where you're hiding the boat. ;-)

Thanks for clarifying, Senator Yancey. Good job.

Your statement in point one is quite a bit different from your previous statements that the PRV Board is unanswerable to the voters, isn't it? Perhaps a bit of research before spreading misinformation in the press is in order.

In fact, even some minimal research before sponsoring ANY bill would go a long way toward restoring the distrust that many of us have developed for our elected representatives in the legislature.

Senator Yancey, Thank you for your post clarifying the PRV related bill. Two questions: 1) How much money does the PRVWSD currently have for capital improvements? 2) Where will the funds come from to 5-lane Old Fannin Road as referenced in your post? Thanks again.

What is behind that foreclosure bill?

The notion that the Rankin Co. board of supervisors is "making a concerted effort to crack down on nuisance properties and a moratorium on residential rental properties" made me spew Coke through my nose. Surely you jest! Lived around here long?

Thanks, though. Been a long week and I needed that chuckle.

No one likes an unkept piece of property, but owners have rights to and many of us are sick and tired of the government telling us what to do and micro-managing our real estate.

If government is so smart, why are they all broke?

The widening of Old Fannin was supposed to begin in Spring of 2009! What happened to that date?

Can all of the new anonymous named characters, please come up with something original. I mean Pharmacy Jim is a good one. I get it. Kapt Kangaroo, I play solitaire with a deck of 51. I get it. Michael, Jimmy. Nothing. No context. Pwease?

And for the Senator's listening pleasure....please forgive the language...it is the language you will hear if you ever make it up to Flag Island...

Note: I don't get it, but its an Internets thing.

I trust the Rankin board not nearly as far as i could throw them, which isn't far to begin with..

the VAST majority of Reservoir residents are fine with the way things are, and the ones that want change dayum sure don't want Rankin Co. in charge of zoning.

So please, go do something productive with your time in the government and quit trying to fix things that aren't broken. There are PLENTY of broken things that need fixing, unfortunately you fatcats in the capitol get your blinders on and would rather get reelected than do something worthwile.

For examples of Rankin zoning take a drive down Old Fannin Road (the one that is about to to be 5 lanes) and you can see what we might enjoy in the future. Strip malls, 3 on the intersection of Spillway and Old Fannin, a used car lot, a trailer park, a pottery and other assorted junk dealer, and even more for your viewing pleasure. The 5 lanes to the reservoir should be a bit classier, in my opinion. All that and more is present because of past and current Rankin County zoning.
Rankin County zoning? No thanks.
