Rome City School board considers 3rd SPLOST
11/28/2007 06:31:47 PM
AS SUPERINTENDENT COOPER STATED IN THE PAPER LAST WEEK THAT HE HAS ALREADY INVITED AN
ARCHITECT UP TO LOOK AT THE PLANS FOR ROME HIGH AND ROME MIDDLE SCHOOLS! IS HE NOT ONLY STATING A WISH LIST, MR. COOPER ALREADY STATING THAT THE PROPOSED S.P.L.O.T. HAS
ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND PASSED BUT THE VOTER'S? I GUESS IT'S JUST GOOD OLE BOY
BACK ROOM POLITICS FOR MR. COOPER TO COME OUT AND SAY THEY ALREADY HAVE PLANS,AND
AN ARCHITECT ON BOARD. IN JUST MY OPINION THE VOTERS NEED TO START A MAJOR RECALL
OF ALL SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS,CITY AND COUNTY COMMIISSIONERS. AND HOLD AN ELECTION
NOT BY ELECTRONIC MEANS, TO NOT ONLY REPLACE THE RECALLED OFFICIALS, BUT TO HAVE WHAT
I BELIVE WOULD BE AN HONEST VOTE ON ANY FUTURE S.P.L.O.T.'S, AND MAKE THE ELECTION OFFICE
PRODUCE PAPER BALLOTS TO PROVE IF ANY S.P.L.O.T. OR ANY OFFICE IN OUR LOCAL GOVERMENTS
ARE REALLY ON THE UP AND UP.

NOW THAT THE S.P.L.O.T HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED,NOT JUST CONSIDERED,I PERSONALY THINK IT'S
TIME FOR EVERY PROPERTY OWNER TO GO TO BOTH CITY AND COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS AND
DEMAND A FULL AN COMPLETE AUDIT,OF EACH SYSTEMS FINANCES BY AN OUTSIDE FIRM. AND
MAKE THEM ACCOUNT FOR EVERY PENNY FROM PAST S.P.L.O.T.'S.EVERY YEAR A NEW S.P.L.O.T.
IS GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT?WHY DO WE EVEN PAY THESE HIGH SCHOOL TAXES?
ONLY A S.P.L.O.T. CAN SAVE OUR CHILDREN. OH BY THE WAY YOU CAN JUST BET ALL OF THE
SUPPORTERS OF THIS WILL SAY WITH OUT IT THE CHILDREN WILL SUFFER. WELL GUESS WHAT WITH
ALL OF THE PAST S.P.L.O.T.'S THAT HAVE PASSED THE CHILDREN ARE NOT GETTING ANY SMARTER.
WITH THE ELETRONIC VOTING WE NOW USE THERE IS NO WAY THIS WILL EVER FAIL.

MR. CRATON IS RIGHT THE COUNTY AND THE CITY KNEW WHAT THE NATURE OF HIS BUSINESS WAS
WHEN THEY GAVE HIM A BULDING PERMIT. THEY JUST DID'NT THINK THE PUBLIC OUT CRY WOULD BE WHAT IT WAS. AND AT THE SAME TIME THIS NEWS PAPER REPORTS JUST HOW MUCH TAX-PAYERS
MONEY THE COUNTY HAS SPENT ON THE LAW-SUIT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ON THE WEB-PAGE FOR
THIS NEWS-PAPER IT ACCEPTS ADVERTISING FROM ENTICE. KINDA LIKE CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK IS'NT IT? IF EVERY ONE HAD DONE THEIR JOB MAY BE NONE OF THIS WOULD EVEN BEEN
NEWS WORTHY

EVERY ONE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING,LAST WEEK WHEN THE CITY MANAGER STATED IN THIS NEWS PAPER THAT THE CITY WOULD GO BANKRUPT IF IT COULD NOT SELL 7.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER A DAY. INCREASE THE RATES AND BLAME IT ON THE STATE, JUST A STUPID IDEA ON MY PART, TO THE CITY MANAGER, AND COMMISSIONERS, CANADA, AND DOSS, DO'ES
THE WATER DEPT. REALLY NEED ALL THOSE NEW PICK-UP TRUCKS,AND ALL OF THE SUPERVISORS WHO DRIVE THEM WHO REALLY DO'SNT DO ANY WORK?WASTING HIGH-PRICED GAS,AND THEIR
SALRIES. AND THE COUNTY RESIDENTS BEST NOT THINK THEY ARE IN ANY BETTER SHAPE,CAUSE
YOU ARE NOT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY JUST STOP SPENDING. AS ALL TAX-PAYERS HAS
TO DO. OR DO WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS ALL WAY'S DO CREATE ENOUGH PANIC AND SCARE
THE TAX-PAYERS INTO ANOTHER S.P.L.O.T. AN OUT SIDE FIRM FROM OUT OF THE STATE OF G.A.
NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT IN AND DO A FULL AUDIT ON THE WATER DEPT. OF BOTH THE CITY AND
COUNTY,TO VERIFY THERE IS A SHORT FALL IN THE WATER DEPTS.

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.

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 KNOW THIS IS A STUPID THOUGHT ON MY PART, BUT JUST WHAT IN THE HECK DO WE AS THE
TAX-PAYERS, PAY THE HIGH SCHOOL TAXES ON OUR PROPERTY FOR? EVERY YEAR THE SCHOOL
BOARDS OF THE COUNTY OR CITY,COMES UP WITH A NEW S.P.L.O.T. JUST WHAT IS OUR TAX DOLLARS USED FOR? FROM THE TIME LOCAL LEADERS DISCOVERED THE GOLDEN EGG THAT
S.P.L.O.T'S ARE WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE ON THE BALLOT EVERY ELECTION?WHY EVEN PAY TAXES
JUST HAVE A S.P.L.O.T TO PAY FOR EVERY THING.

brian1222.... SIR I'M SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO CORRECT ME YOU ARE RIGHT, THEY REALLY DID HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION TO ANNOUNCE THIS BACK ROOM DEAL WAS ALREADY A DONE DEAL. I JUST REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THE TAX PAYERS WHO ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO FUND ALL OF THE COST AND GET LITTLE OR NO RETURN ON THEIR MONEY! IF THE ELECTED
COMMINISSINORS WERE REALLY LOOKING OUT FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE, ALL OF THESE MILLION'S
OF DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USED TO FINANCE THIS PROJECT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER
SPENT ON THE CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOLS, FOR PROGRAMS TO HELP THE ELDELRY, TO HELP THE
HOMELESS HERE IN ROME, AND TO HELP FEED THE HUNGRY THAT ROME HAS A LOT OF!BUT OF
COURSE THEY CHOSE TO USE THE MONEY SO THAT ONLY A HAND FULL WILL BENFIT, AS USAL
A GREAT plan to address property tax reform?

SINCE THIS TAX PLAN WAS FIRST BROUGHT UP, HAS ANY ONE NOTICED THAT EVERY LOCAL
ELECTED OFFICIAL, IN EVERY CITY AND COUNTY IN THE STATE OF GA. HAS CAME OUT AGANST IT?
MOST OF THEM IN THEIR OFFICIAL CAPASITY HAS SENT LETTERS OF PROTEST TO THE GENERAL
ASSEMEMBLY. WONDER WHY?RASING OUR PROPERTY TAXES, SCHOOL TAXES, WOULD NOT BE AS
EASY AS TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY ANY MORE. LOTTERY WAS SUSPOSE TO PAY FOR MOST OF
THE SCHOOL TAX'S, BUT IT HAS NOT? ANY TAX PLAN HAS GOT TO BE BETTER THAN THE SYSTEM
THAT WE HAVE NOW?
