Please tell me where it's 2/3rds empty? My guess is you're information is third party and you haven't taken the time to verify that. Even with some empty space, why not build larger than required for the needs at the time which makes sense to plan for additional growth in the coming years. The complex has been there 5 years, can you imagine the backlash if they built it with plans to occupy every inch for the needs 5 years ago and now need to expand for additional growth? It's much cheaper to build extra/unused space during initial construction versus modifications/expansions years down th

You "fought" or just whined and complained? Have you supported any progressive project for the operations of the county? If so please name some along with your reasoning. Not that I agree 100% with all of the projects but to point out a few considerations for a few of them: $65 million dollar courthouse: Anyone who had conducted any business in the hodgepodge of county buildings in downtown Dallas from 2001-2008 knew that not only was space at a premium, the condition and ADA access to every building was compromised and was in dire need of attention. Even with rehabbing, you can't

None of them look white to me. It also looks like the thugs I see loitering around downtown everyday while I go to and from WORK while they're out on the streets being bored.

Having a direct complainant for any code violation aids in the validation that the problem truly is a problem because it led to the complaint from a citizen. Especially when it goes to court because the officer can site the county code that's being violated, show that a citizen complaint was submitted and it correlates to a quality of life issue for the neighbors based on the citizen complaint and the judge can have a more clear picture of the situation and hopefully rule accordingly based on the facts. If the officer initiated on it alone, the violator can cry poverty, beg for mercy or say

Great to hear of their awesome service. Mike Brown purchased the True Value hardware store a few years ago and expanded into tool, equipment and truck rentals. I rented excavators from him at his previous location on West Memorial by the Hickory Hut and was thoroughly impressed with their great the service and awesome rates on equipment. It's unfortunate that it looks like that part of the business has gone away since I don't see the equipment at the hardware store anymore but hopefully they'll continue to do well with hardware and Budget truck rentals.

You're a little behind, this has all been covered in a previous post. How do I know? Well at the time of the original post it was an assumption they were taking advantage of it by eating there everyday and multiple times a day. As stated in my previous post, this morning I confirmed with the cashier at Chick Fil A how many officers pay for their meal and the answer was one of every one hundred so it can no longer be considered an assumption because I've confirmed it. While at dinner tonight with some friends I brought up the topic and found out a similar issue came up during the airshow

That's all it takes is someone with the connections to bring it to those that likely don't even know it could present an opportunity for abuse by some who were raised without good manners. I've never once intended to imply the discount shouldn't be given to public safety, just awareness that if "I'm" seeing officers constantly at the places that give free meals but rarely at places that don't then there could be room for a simple policy to make sure the gesture doesn't ruin it for everyone.

You're right, attitude and honesty goes a long way with discretionary charges or citations. Hide it from the officer and when they find it the consequences usually go up a step or two to the maximum result allowed by law.

It's called "How a few bad apples ruin everything" meaning if some officers go day after day and visit multiples times a day then at some point the discounts or free meals will likely stop for all who deserve it and aren't taking advantage of it. So to answer your question, there should be a policy within the agencies to address it. In fact, for god sake everyone sure jumps on the band wagon when politicians accept gifts regardless of the dollar value so why is this any different? Morals, integrity and ethics should come first nature to those who serve the public and get paid by public fund

Well you pop in to make out like this wasn't a legitimate post so yeah I would take offense to it. It is clearly an honest mistake that you say you missed the post so my apologies for calling you an ass . It pissed me off quite a bit to be called out when I had just taken the time to respond to everyone who wants to stray and talk about everything except the reason of what I posted about.

No it wasn't a hit and run and I posted a detailed response 5 minutes before yours so had you taken the time to read it you wouldn't have made an ass of yourself. Sorry I could reply today but I do have a job and was in the field from 6am until getting back home at 5. Unfortunately Paulding.com isn't my focus when I'm being paid to do my job during the day.

Just tell the officer you purchased the 10 lb brick at Sams Club Pharmacy in Washington or Colorado and it's for putting the "Coma" in your Glaucoma.

former member, you are correct but as usual everyone wants to miss the point entirely and say "mind your own business" or "it's a private business so they're entitled to do whatever they please". I never disputed the offer from Chick Fil A or any establishment that chooses to do it. I think it's very generous and Chick Fil A is just one of many businesses that offer this service. My point is seeing the same officers there day after day after day. You can't tell me the court officers and detectives in an unmarked car that are at Chick Fil A every single day are coming there paying at

The sad part is how many reasons are always given as to sudden spikes in the rise in fuel. The whole "supply and demand" concept of fuel just doesn't add up with 99% of fuel spikes. Unfortunately the suppliers can tell us anything they want and we have no choice except to deal with it and pay the prices because we're all so in love with our cars and because we don't have multiple transportation options available in our area.

I've worked for the government for my entire life and my job comes with the same perks as the issue I've pointed out. However because of my morals and government ethics laws I choose to pay my own way and not take advantage of the free meals. So to counter your statement, I'm positive I DON'T take advantage of it and I turn it down quite often when the offer is made to me whether it's completely free or a discount. When those charged with upholding the law are given things for free, regardless of the overall value, the time will come where they're faced with applying the law to those who've
