Rome City School board considers 3rd SPLOST

ROMEGASIR.SIR I'M NOT IN AN ARGUMENT WITH YOU MUCH LESS A RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT. I'M
JUST STATING MY OPINION, THAT IF YOU KNOW THE PAY SCALE FOR THE POSITION OF A FLOYD
COUNTY POLICE OFFICER,AND THE STARTING PAY FOR THAT SAME POSITION. IF YOU CAN NOT
MAKE ENDS MEET NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO EVEN TO APPLY FOR THAT JOB. BUT I WAS RAISED
TO BELIVE IF YOU ACCEPTED A JOB TO DO YOUR JOB.AND IF A BETTER JOB COMES ALONG AND
YOU CAN GET IT WHY NOT IMPROVE YOU LIFE AND THE LIFE'S OF YOUR FAMILY. WHILE ON DUTY
IS AN OFFICER NOT SWORN TO UP HOLD THE LAWS, NOT JUST THE ONES THE OFFICER CHOOSES TO
NOT TO SIT AROUND AND GRIPE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WRONG WITH THEIR JOB'S. I HAVE NEW'S
FOR YOU THAT GO'ES ON AT EVERY WORK PLACE NOT JUST GOVERMENT WORK PLACES. AND YOU
ARE RIGHT THAT ANY THING CAN GET STOLEN FROM ANY ONE AT ANY TIME, BUT YOU ASK IF THAT
MEANS THE COPS ARE LAZY WELL SIR I DONT KNOW IF THE COPS ARE LAZY OR JUST DON'T CARE
ENOUGH ABOUT DOING THEIR JOB'S. I SEEMED TO HAVE TOUCHED A SORE SPOT WITH YOU
BECAUSE I STATED THAT I'M AGANST ANY NEW S.P.L.O.T. TAX, AND I ALSO AGANST THE HIGH
PROPERTY AND SCHOOL TAXES, HERE IN FLOYD COUNTY, I JUST DO NOT THINK IT'S FAIR THAT
BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE TO WORK TWO JOBS JUST TO MAKE END'S MEET,AND COUNTY EMPLOYEES
ARE USING COUNTY OWNED VECHILES TO GET TO THEIR SECOND JOB'S AT MY EXPENCE. YOU
STATED YOU WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH THE COUNTY FORCE IF YOUR PAY HAD BEEN BASED ON
PERFORMANCE,THE REALLY GOOD OFFICERS SHOULD GET TOGEATHER BYPASS THE LOCAL
POLITICTIONS, AND FORCE THE DEPARTMENT TO GET RID OF THE BAD ONES, YOU MIGHT JUST
BE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH THE GENERAL PUBLIC WOULD BE BEHIND THEM.

AS A RETIRED PERSON,IJUST READ ALL OF THE COMMENTS ON THIS S.P.L.O.T.AGAIN AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY IF ANY ONE CAN TELL ME HOW THIS TAX IS REALLY GOING TO HELP THE CHILDREN
IT SEEMES TO ME THAT WHEN A CHILD CAN NOT READ OR MAY BE UNDERSTAND THE BIG ORANGE
SIGNS THAT SAY LANE CLOSED 1/2 MILE AHEAD AND THE LANE CLOSED 1/4 MILE A HEAD, OR A
CHILD CAN NOT TELL WHAT TIME IT IS WITH OUT A DIGITAL WATCH, WE JUST MIGHT BE FALING
THEM ALL THE WAY AROUND? FANCY NEW BULDINGS ARE NOT GOING TO HELP AT ALL. SOME ONE
SAID THE PTO'S WERE BUYING THE BASIC'S, MY QUESTION IS WHY? WHERE HAS THE MONEY FROM
THE LAST S.P.L.O.T. GONE? WHAT HAS HAPPENDED TO THE MONEY FROM THE SCHOOL TAXES THAT
EVERY PROPERTY OWNER PAY'S. THAT ARE ALREADY WAY TO HIGH. IS IT BEING MIS MANAGED
SO BAD THAT THE LOCAL TEACHERS,AND PARENTS MUST PAY FOR THE BASIC EQUIPMENT AND
SUPPLY'S TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS? LET'S JUST GET TOGEATHER AND MAKE SOME ONE EXPLAIN
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON, ALL I AM REALLY SAYING IS IF EVERY YEAR WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A S.P.L.O.T. TO VOTE ON PLUS THE SCHOOL TAXES, IT JUST SEEMS MIGHTY FISHY TO ME
THAT THE PTO'S AND PARENTS HAVE TO BUY A DAD GUM THING, LET'S HOLD SOME ONE OR THE
WHOLE SCHOOL BOARD'S ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THIS MONEY.

SEEMS FUNNY TO ME THAT OUR PRETEND ( MAYOR ) BROKE EVERY TIED VOTE, AND DECIDED
TO ENFORCE THIS ACTION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON,WHERE SOME OF
THESE RESTERANT'S MAKE MOST OF THEIR MONEY FOR THE YEAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND THIS
ACTION IF IT WAS THE SAME BUSINESS TIME AFTER TIME BUT FOR A COUPLE OF THEM IT WAS
THEIR FIRST TIME, AND ANY ONE ELSE NOTICE NONE OF THE BUSINESS'ES WERE LOCATED ON BROAD STREET? THEY MADE A POINT TO POINT THAT FACT OUT.

BRIAN,SIR. YOU ARE RIGHT THAT NOT ONLY YOU BUT EVERY TAX PAYER, OR PARENT THAT HAS A CHILD IN EITHER SCHOOL SYSTEM,SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK FOR THEM SELFS. PERIOD. THE
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT'S ARE HIRED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE ELECTED BY
THE LEGAL TAX PAYING VOTERS, OF THE CITY AND COUNTY, WHO IN JUST MY OPINION RUN OVER
THE VERY PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM INTO OFFICE!I CAN PROMICE EACH AND EVERY INCUMBANT
IN EVERY LOCAL OFFICE THAT I AM LEGALLY INTITLED TO VOTE ON THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY
SAY OR PROMICE, NO MATTER WHAT THE PERSON RUNNING AGANST THEM SAY'S OR PROMICES
THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD I WILL VOTE FOR THE INCUMBENT.THEY NEED TO REMEMBER THAT
THEY MESSED UP AND CALLED FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION ON THIS S.P.L.O.T. BEFORE THE GENERAL
ELECTION,THIS TIME.WITH INFLATION UP AND JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE I KNOW JUST TRYING TO
MAKE END'S MEET,AND OUR LOCAL LEADERS JUST KEEP COMMING UP WITH MORE AND MORE
SPECIAL TAXES PLUS THE ALREADY HIGH PROPERTY TAXES, AND THE SCHOOL TAXES HERE DO'ES
NONE OF THEM READ THE LEGAL SECTION IN THURSDAY'S PAPER, PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES
BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE TAXES! OR IS IT THAT THEY REALLY JUST DON'T CARE BECAUSE IT'S
NOT THEM?

AS A NEW BLOGGER I'VE BEEN READING ALL OF THE BLOGS, AND I THINK THAT GAHICK MIGHT JUST
BE RIGHT ABOUT A COMPLEATE AND TOTAL RECALL OF ALL LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS,IN BOTH CITY
AND COUNTY OFFICES. AND THE WE THE TAX PAYERS STAND UP AND DEMAND A COMPLETE AUDIT
OF BOTH GOVERMENT'S AND BOTH SCHOOL SYSTEMS. I'M BEGENNING TO WONDER IF ALL OF OUR
LOCAL GOVERMENTS ARE NOT REALLY BROKE? WHY WHEN AN AUDIT IS DONE IT'S THROUGH THE CITY OR COUNTY MANAGERS OFFICE? IS IT SO THEY CAN CONTROL THE OUT COME?
WE AS NOT ONLY THE TAX PAYERS, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY HAS THE
RIGHT AND RESPONCIBILITY TO DEMAND THE THE FOLK'S THAT WE ELECT USE COMMEN-SENCE,
WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING OUR MONEY. THAT'S RIGHT IT'S OUR MONEY,NOT THEIR MONEY TO
DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT.
