If you still can't figure it out, it's directly across the street from where Charles Webster lived in his little mansion. The place has virtually been clear cut. There are three houses per acre, some with a zero lot line. No green space. <br /><br />Developer is the same guy who will develop "Bishop's Plantation" that's being discusssed here. <br /><br />Developers have two plans. The first plan is to cram as many rooftops into a parcel of land as they possibly can. The second plan is to figure out which politician to own. The rest just flows. <br /><br />PS: There are several one acre per house subdivisions in Madison.

They are all good people and we would be up shit creek if all three had not been elected. Frankly, I didn't know Bishop before the race, but I went all out to help him rid us of Banks and Warnock. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised how good a supervisor he has become. David is his own man. He doesn't answer to Mary or Steen or anyone else. He may be hard headed and determined, but he is also honest and has turned down shady offers to help him pay off his legal bills. <br /><br />David will get the job done. He will vote with Trey or Steen or anyone else when he thinks it is appropriate. Of course, whenever he and Steen vote together on an issue, you hear all the Chicken Littles cry that the sky is falling and David has "gone to the dark side"!! Without David, Madison County would still be at Warnock's mercy, the county would finish being bankrupted by the bogus Banks-Warnock Airport, we would still be bleeding $$$ paying for the financial black hole that is Griffin's "resort lake" in the boonies of District 5, and the same old corrupt machine would still be in business. <br /><br />Repeat after me.."Thank God for David Bishop, Trey, and Sheila"!!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-12727362340788022052017-01-19T14:38:08.766-06:002017-01-19T14:38:08.766-06:009:17 Nothing wrong with Board members working tog...9:17 Nothing wrong with Board members working together to get things down for their districts.
