Your welcome to go up there and sit on top of them until they release the info. They are not going to release it one minute faster to anyone for sitting on top of them. They release it when they release it.

Things heat up between Airport and watchdog group

Ok, I have not looked at the actual list lately, the project was mentioned at a meeting. It has been talked about. I actually brought it up because I could talk about something that would actually impact me because of where I live. It is obvious that I am positive about growth in the area of economic development. I will keep my ear to the ground to see if these makes the list rather than just being discussed. -
I have been in those places, You know what people all over this county are being victimized also. It is everywhere and it is not all brown. Wonder why there is so much hate concentrated in certain areas, must be genetic. Same as poverty concentrated in certain areas, genetic? inbreeding. No matter how you slice it, it comes down to personal responsibility for your attitude and actions you take based on your attitude. If you think all black people are lazy and steal then you aren't going to hire them, then you know what you create a self fulfilling prophecy because they are going to steal t

I didn't mention the word guilt one singe time,empathy understanding or lack of yes. I intend to maintain that attitude. Black people are not my enemy and they are not taking anything away from me. When they do and I can clearly see it, I might jump on the band wagon.

From what I have seen so far this one is pretty far in the future and is contingent on a lot of things, some could move it up. We also are dependent on agreement from other counties and how far up various projects are on their priority list. It took forever to get 92 widened, I am sure Douglas county was more interested in road improvement surrounding their economic engine, which was I-20 and the mall. Should Cobb get an opportunity in that area that would benefit from doing this project sooner than later then we might see it move up on the list of priorities. I would think that the Tspl -
This situation is changed one attitude at a time. I am in charge of my attitude towards people of other races and cultures. I judge individuals and their actions. I feel threatened by individuals that want to harm me personally for any reason. Most people fighting for racial equality feel threatened, I find it very frightening that someone would harm me based on the color of my skin, or not allow me an opportunity based on the color of my skin. I personally can't think of anything negative done to me because of the color of my skin, nor have I had to consider if it has. Basically I feel

Woot! Woot! congratulations! I have some advice, get all the rest you can while you are there. Babies do all the resting for the first 3 months, but they are worth it!! -

I am pretty sure that the widening of Dabbs bridge and the connector to 75 is dependent on the passing of the regional Tsplost. We are going to have a chance vote on it. Part of building roads sometimes involves compensation to those effected by the widening. This is simply how things work. -
We have not gotten anymore press releases yet. If this is related all the news agencies will get a press release emailed to them at the same time.

You are talking about past industrial growth, I have been told that in our past at least going that far back, that leadership was not particularly interested in any type of industrial growth here in the county. In fact our ratio of jobs that pay decent wages inside the county still lays very heavily with Gov. employment. We are surrounded by industries just outside the county line on all sides. You have to think about it, when your profit relies heavily on the service industry and Gov. employment you don't have issues with people driving outside the county or growth in the bedroom communi -

You are absolutely right, the problem is that industries like CAT require infrastructure to be in place or built. Many large industries require huge amounts of water and sewage, no reservoir no water for those types of industry. On top of that we were forced to shoot our wad on accommodating the housing boom, water, roads, schools, fire stations, police force. By law we have to provide these things for those that buy homes here. Impact fees would have offset that, but that would have cut into the profits of private industry that was the economic engine of the county at the time. We took a ri -

You know I wasn't trashing you, I just was not sure if you were staying on top of the moving and shaking like you use to. Just like you have pointed out we don't have as much suitable land for industrial growth as we once did, as far as I know there won't be much risk of subdividing it. So when you talk of marketing what we have it is not vacant land just anywhere in the county. Industries require certain sewer, water, utility and communications ability. We don't have as much of that to offer as we would like. I have also ask about the land that is partially developed, from what I understand -
Are we worried that the black boys won't be punished? I know they can't release the info about minors unless they try them as adults. This and what happened to the young boy in Fl. are both wrong. As far as reporting goes, most of the time with minors it is a brick wall. My question would be more along the lines of racism and hate in the community, if it is widespread then racism is a dangerous problem in the community. I consider racism a problem, not color, not community activism from one side or another to be as much of a problem as fertile ground. Both races are known to cultivate r

We have someone very sick in our community, we can all see just how sick. This person needs to be found as quickly as possible. It is hard to treat this as you would a homicide, but it should be. Maybe the picture will create an outcry from the community to pursue this until the person is found. This is very scary, it takes a certain type to do this, we don't want this person walking our streets.

Surepip, I am not sure if you have had the pleasure of meeting Jamie Gilbert of economic development. He recognizes the issues you are discussing and is making great progress with the Iba in making some great things happen in the areas that are suitable. The opportunity zone is also going to create some great opportunities for existing industries here. I am working on some educational things with video I have collected. One thing I admire about the efforts are the opportunities and things being done for business already here to help them grow and prosper. There are some good plans in the work -
I will let you know since I am hoping to follow up on this. I read the book years ago and was very impressed with Ms. Pearl so I am looking forward to seeing here in person.I also want to draw attention to the wonderful people in our community that continue to memorialize the event and all those effected.I think this says so much about this community and the people that live here.
