Armuchee Connector

The Armuchee Connector, part of the 2006 special purpose, local option sales tax package approved by voters almost a year ago, is aimed at relieving congestion on U.S. 27 between Armuchee and Turner McCall Boulevard. The road — which will be four-laned between U.S. 27 and Old Dalton Road — will start at Braves Boulevard at State Mutual Stadium across from the newly widened Riverside Parkway. It is slated to cross the Oostanaula River, Old Dalton Road and tie directly into U.S. 27 below Old School Road.

AS AN OLD FOGEY I BEEN READING ALL OF THESE BLOGS,AND I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE
TO START A NEW PLACE TO START SO I WILL JUST DO IT RIGHT HERE,FIRST OF ALL MR. DOSS WAS
A COMMISINOR,WHO LOST AN ELECTION PRETTY BADLY, AS I REMEMBER.AND NOT ONLY WITH THIS
STUPID ROAD THAT HE WANTED,PROMICED TO HELP WITH D.O.T. MONEY WHICH HE SEEMED TO LIE
ABOUT,TO GET THIS ROAD,HE ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE ENOUGH ANGER IN HIM ABOUT WHAT THE VOTERS THOUGHT OF HIM, HE GETS NOT ONLY THE CITY BUT EVEN THE COUNTY TO AGREE TO USE
TAX PAYER MONEY TO FINANCE HIS BULDING PROJECTS,TO FUTHER HIS OWN POLITICAL INTREST'S
AND AT THE SAME TIME BECOME RICH OFF OF THE LOCAL TAX PAYERS

NOT ONLY DID HE WHO SPEAKS WITH FORK-TOUNGE, GET HIS NEW ROAD,AT LOCAL TAX-PAYERS
EXPINCE,BUT IN THIS MORNING'S PAPER HE ALSO SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO TOUCH THAT THING
RE;THE RIVER WALK PROJECT? HE GOT UP AND LEFT THE ROOM.I HOPE MR. DOSS DOUBLE CROSS'ES
THE LOCAL COMMISSIONERS, JUST LIKE HE DID THE TAX-PAYERS,INTO BULDING THIS NEW ROAD FOR HIM.I ALSO HOPE THAT IT TAKES AT LEAST AS LONG AS TO COMPLETE AS IT TOOK FOR THE
WIDING OF RIVERSIDE PARKWAY, ABOUT 20 OR SO YEARS.

I ask again as I asked in The Watercooler. How did Daviv Doss get to the position he is in and where did he come from? As each day goes, I would say more people are becoming a little more sceptical of his dealing as very self serving and shady. What did he do before he became DOT invloved? How did he get at the DOT? and what position does he hold there? Just asking so I can become more informed. Thanks

AGAIN DAVID DOSS GETS WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF THE CITY AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AND
REALLY THE TAX-PAYERS,WITH EMPTY PROMICES REMEMBER THE LAST S.P.L.O.T. WITH WHICH
PART OF THE MONEY FOR THIS ROAD WAS TO BE MATCHED WOTH D.O.T. MONEY?ACOUPLE OF DAYS
AFTER THE S.P.L.O.T. PASSED HE WHO SPEAKS WITH FORKED-TOUNGE,ANNOUNCED THE STATE D.O.T. DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY HE PROMICED, TO HELP GET THE S.P.L.O.T. PASSED.
I WONDER JUST HOW WE AS THE TAX-PAYERS, COULD GET MR. DOSS'ES POSITION ON THE D.O.T.
BOARD, PUT ON THE BALLOT FOR THE NEXT ELECTION

I support the connector......heck, make it a toll road......9 or 10 wrecks at Us 27 and Ga 1 Loop and it would be paid for.

I think this connector is just about as absurd as the footbridge! WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR POLITICIANS????? I'd rather us BE a better county than LOOK like a better county!

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY, why build a road parallel to the road already there, Oh yeah, gotta cater to the braves cause that is what this town revolves around.
