Maybe this will help people understand the counties position, the anti slap was filed under the previous administration. Had the new administration lost the anti slap, they would have to pay the anti-slap suit, then when it was heard they would have had to pay the settlement of the case. They were forced to bring the anti-slap because they had no chance with the administration in place. The new administration even had they wanted to hear the case, couldn't until the anti-slap dealt with.

Nobody has seen any facts but the lawyers, a judge has never set eyes on the details of this case, that was why the anti-slap was brought. The taxpayers of this county have paid a fortune to make sure a judge never sees the first piece of evidence. If they weren't worried about that evidence this would be over and done a long time ago. For the county it was never about the money, it serves some people to make it about the money. It was about never seeing the facts of the case period.

When a settlement goes something like this, we will pa you 1/2 your lawyer fees and give you your land back, the lawyer says to you, you are welcome to take this settlement but you will pay me the other 1/2 of my fees when you do. The county lawyers got all their fees paid immediately when they submitted the bill to the taxpayers of the county. But somehow the Morrison's end up as the bad guys. From the first day the bulldoze pushed the first inch of dirt on their property the employees of this county and there were many decided to spend your tax money to allow a developer to take lan

Mc. Donalds will take your pennies and your septic system ends up the recipient of pennies spent that way. There is no! mass transit on the Paulding list!!@! The news stories you are reading about are regions with mass transit. We have a commuter bus the leaves from movies 278 and that is the only thing that may be increased. Your county list can no longer be altered, what your county placed in that document is binding to your county for 10 years no matter who comes or goes in office. The news stories are not putting out facts about the document. They are reporting the things in ano

You know as well as I do that the amount of the suit is to make sure that the lawyer gets paid for his time. Depending on how complicated or simple the case the lawyer tries to estimate the amount of work, sets the settlement amount so that his % covers his cost. The Morrisons did not say we want 1.5 million, their lawyer whom they trust sets the amount before he will take the case. The settlement would not cover the lawyers portion and allow them to repair damages. These cases are all about the lawyers, I think you know that. We have a great justice system in America if you can a

Excuse me the Morrison's never wanted the money from day one, They did not want their land taken. They were out there every day trying to stop bulldozers and heavy equipment. Telling these people that they were on their property. It could have been stopped then. The sheriffs reports will show how often they were called out there. They could have stopped at any time and the county could have protected the home owners property rights. There was intent by the county not to do so. Any money the Morrison's get was spent by the county back then. If they chose to spend the money on attorneys, then

I don't want to go into details about stuff I am not positive about. You could probably click on surepips name and click content on his profile and get all the details. It is very convoluted, the recent post are about the anti-slap. At some point the county put a counter suit on them and I think that was the reason the the anti-slap. Surepip will probably answer this after his lawyer gets back from vacation and they talk this over. A lot of things happened under the previous administration, and I don't know where the line is drawn on the previous proceedings with old admin and new.

If you buy property as an investment it is money. If you buy property as your forever home, it is like having a piece of your heart ripped out. I had a friend many years ago back in Tn. that almost the exact same thing happen to her. She fought and fought and never won it. She literally almost went crazy about people taking her land, she spent thousands to try get back 6 feet of road frontage taken from her. She is in her 80's now, still lives on the property, she still has such a hatred for the people and the courts that took her land you don't want the subject to come up. You also don'

I make this all the time and put it on my scrambled eggs.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

EEEWWW were one of your parents a Yankee by chance

You know what, those of us that know the folks that campaign and I include everyone regardless of their politics know how the spouses suffer through it when things are said about there loved ones.

I put them in at home because hubby loves them, but I know some folks are prejudice against beans

My heart went out to Laura Curruth that stood up for her husband. It seemed that all the ladies came up and spoke nicely to her.

I told everyone that I could make the best authentic Brunswick stew. If it was as good as they say I am sure he used shoe peg corn just like me.

It seems that some of the sunshine laws are much broader, I have not read them completely. I have read some articles that seem to point out that some entities are not aware that people can bring camera's in and tape any public meeting. Honestly though thrown out is thrown out and all you end up with is video of someone throwing you out

Yes but it is very small.

I can see by the click thrus that the subject of ethics interest you. I am also reading the many articles and blogs around the state about this issue. It would seem some very powerful legislators are fighting the $100 lobbyist gift limit just a little to hard. The best rumor I have heard about it so far is the the Georgia Tea Party have joined ranks with liberals to get this passed

Yes people use the back button to go in and out from the forum page.

Sorry I blasted you about it, There lawyer is out of town as far as they know. They don't have an opinion on it because their lawyer has not explained what this means to their case. I would hope people would understand how stressful this has been for years, now getting a judgement and not having your lawyer available to you to answer your questions. Surepip can't even come on site because of getting bombarded with questions and being gigged about not discussing it immediately with people.

I am trying to figure out why so many are trying to goad Surepip into blasting David Austin about this. They need to talk to their lawyer about this event. Give it up already!

A challenge everyone reading this thread to go to google and put the tsplost in the search. Now I want you to find a commentary about the Tsplost by someone or a news source that is not from the Atlanta/ Marietta area. The news, the points of view you are reading are specific to those regions. What are they mad about? they already get the lions share of federal and local fuel tax. The tsplost if passed will take money out of their road budgets and put it into public transportation and pedestrian projects. Our regional tsplost will not do those things here and the money will not be gi

There is no jack pot, the house needs a lot of maintenance and repair done to it from the continued blasting close to it. Also the legal fees have hampered them in trying to do what smaller repairs they could have done to the property. Their suit was based on principal not a on a payday, if it had been a pay day they would have quit a long time ago when it was made clear to them that it would cost them a million dollars to have this suit heard and were expected to pay their attorney up front. The lawyers will now get the jackpot.

She will have no ability what so ever to fire the county attorneys if she is elected. A legislator votes the will of the people of their district at the state level. If she is good, which I know she is, she will listen to the people of her district and vote the way they want her to vote for their benefit, not the benefit of special interest groups when there is a conflict between the 2.

Because this is the first time we have seen it and when I ask the Morrison's they stated they had not seen it yet and did not want to remark on it until they went over it with their attorney. I was one of the first people informed about it, and I don't know how to interpret it beyond what I have been told, and that was that the case itself can now be tried in court. They continue to try and keep the issues separate against a bombardment of phone calls and emails of people reminding them of the injustice of the case. The Morrison's will always do what is best for Paulding when they can an
