I would support a program to move people out of the county. Quality of life should not be measured by your tax bill or pocketbook. Tax rates could go down if we were not supporting all these school needs brought on by higher population. Most of the main roads are state maintained anyway and I won't even try to act like police and fire are up to par regardless of tax rates. We do have an empty airport in the middle of the woods though. I am a small businessman and I personally see no advantage to more people. JMO.
Agreed. Also a small business owner. Well, co-owner, anyway.
Growth should be the path to the goal, not the goal itself.

I imagine standard time year-round would be terrible for anyone who suffers from seasonal depression during the late fall and winter months.

I love the long days in summer, but if it puts an end to darkness at 5:30 pm in December, I could probably learn to live with it.

haha! It says I don't even have permission to view some of mine...

According to Google, from sources that include the US Census Bureau:
1980 26,110
1990 42,028
2000 82,984
2010 142.824
2017 159.445
So no, I don't think we need to be luring people here with cash. Personally, I think growth is overstated; even though it does increase the tax base, it also requires more infrastructure and more services, overcrowds the schools and increases traffic, so the tradeoff sort of cancels out any benefit of an increased number of property owners.
This was once a lovely little county, as was Cobb. Now...well, not sure what the draw is, really, since cheap housing is a thing of the past.

It is not that she was dishonest; she was not able to provide sufficient evidence of the length of time she lived there, per the elections board.

"My question is would renting it out prevent the use of other activities in the building during church services"
"burnt hickory park building cannot be used by the public on ANY SUNDAY"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, the original post doesn't say there was a vote. It says there was NOT a vote. I took that point to mean it was a decision made without the public's (aka taxpayer's) knowledge.
Renting out a school facility that is not used on the weekend is one thing, but to make a park facility unavailable for half the weekend when most private citizens (aka taxpayers) might wish to rent it for an event is another.
Churches don't pay the taxes that build or maintain parks, and the government doesn't pay for anything. We do.

This is a pretty good idea ^^^
Not likely to happen, but a good idea nonetheless.

So sorry for your loss. Sadly, only time can heal this particular wound.
Thoughts are with his family.

Annette was a very sweet lady. She will be missed.
Condolences to her family.

I have lost faith in who puts the links on here.How do we know who they are? are they for the President or against him? I have seen so much fake news.I had rather believe what I hear out of the Presidents mouth. Other people should do the same. If they did a lot of this drama would cease.
Believe it? I have trouble understanding his rambling, circular doublespeak. If he cared enough to pay attention to what he says, no doubt he would have trouble understanding it, too.
It is rather silly to suggest that people YOU don't know personally feel hate toward someone THEY don't know personally. There are either many who don't really know what hate is, or don't possess the vocabulary to use a more appropriate term. There are plenty others to pick from: displeased, appalled, embarrassed, confused, suspicious, ashamed, disgusted and yes, angry, to name a few.
I don't know Trump, nor do I care enough about him to hate him although I have not ever particularly liked him. My opinion of him is based on the fact that he is a serial adulterer, his business ethics and practices questionable at best, he is blatantly dishonest, hypocritical, and lacks self-restraint. We don't even know if he pays his income taxes. We do know he doesn't always pay others to whom he owes money.
His only concern is his ego and the image he projects. He will never put the country ahead of himself.
What, besides his anti-immigration stance, are all these good ideas of which y'all speak?

Within just the past week... four American citizens were murdered by illegal immigrants.
And how many American citizens were murdered by American citizens? How many by their own parents, spouse or children??

I have got to get in there and find myself a good desk chair. Soon.

I am amazed that anyone would defend, much less want to elect, such a dishonest, egomaniacal person as Donald Trump to a second term, especially for such a juvenile reason as 'to watch someone squirm'.
The problem we have now is people voting for an individual based on personal feelings, name recognition, personal ideology, party association, etc. rather than the candidate who demonstrates the ability to provide capable, ethical leadership and whose background and finances are not incompatible with transparency and full disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest or questionable business ties/associations.
Electing a corrupt shyster who wouldn't know the truth if it poked him in the eye just to piss off people who don't want said shyster in the top office in the country is not what I would call patriotism.

For her to suggest that it occurred because she wasn't given guidance on the matter IS hypocritical, though. Seriously, did a day go by when he didn't mention it either at a campaign event or on Twitter?
How many clues did she need?

I wait until election day. I feel that is the best way to be sure I have as much information as possible before deciding where to cast my vote.
I am always happy to see third party candidates on the ballot. It is unfortunate that so many choose to vote for 'the lesser of two evils' rather than to seriously consider other possibilities only because the two parties' have managed to bend the process to maintain their broken system.
Until that changes, not much else will.

These are very pretty when lit, and that is a good price too!

Not long ago, the Democrats on this forum were railing against the outsourcing and companies taking their manufacturing to other countries.
Now you're pissed because someone took at stand on it to encourage business to keep jobs here.
Can you get any more hypocritical?
I don't understand why you would suggest that only Democrats should be against the offshoring of millions of American jobs. Are you saying everyone else thinks it was somehow beneficial to this country? Or is it exactly what it appears to be - a lame attempt to make it a partisan issue?
So much for your claim that you are above all that - not that some of us didn't already know better, but still maybe best to check yourself before you start pointing out the faults of others.

Yeah, I think that would be akin to asking motorists not to use a highway after it's open to traffic - not a viable option.

To suggest that he might pardon the guy is neither "nasty" nor overreaching, based on his erratic behavior and mercurial temperament up to this point.

Not a bad price for a 1,000 watt microwave. Wish this had been available before I bought mine last spring...

I imagine those lists are for elementary school students based on the items they contain (scissors, glue, colored pencils, crayons, etc.) I would make sure my kid showed up with pen/pencil, individual notebooks (either spiral or other binder type with paper) and maybe a calculator until I heard otherwise. No doubt you will be notified shortly if you are to provide other specific items.
Or if you know any 7th or 8th graders, you could always ask what they were expected to bring or discovered they would need upon entering the 6th grade.
Anybody know if they are doing Bingo
in ~P.COM FENCE of NEIGHBORLY !@$!@!~

There has been (in the recent past) an ad in the Dallas New Era with this information, so they have been having bingo there. I don't have the paper handy so I can't check at the moment though to see if they are still...
