"The whole deal (i.e., the only complaint from my employer) was over a (myopic?) perception of my posts on here, and that perception was almost point-for-point the way this person had characterized me in that strategically placed post."

TyroneConfidential: TYRONE TAXES ARE GOING UP (TAD)

At the May 8 Planning Workshop, lawyer Davenport explained how Tyrone could raise taxes for downtown residents. He said it could be done by creating a Tax Allocation District (TAD) as part of the downtown redevelopment plan. First, the council has to pass a resolution designating the downtown area as a special tax district. Barry tried to do this last year but the election interfered. The new council will now go forward with Barry’s plan. Every residential home and business property will pay the increased taxes. Tyrone can then issue bonds or borrow money pledging your property taxes for security to pay back the borrowed funds. It’s a sneaky way of reducing the deficit and so complex that only a lawyer can fully understand. State usury laws don’t apply, so the citizens can be charged exorbitant interest rates. See O.C.G.A. 36-44-8 for the complex details.

Bo (Who Do You Love?) Diddley died this past week. He was 79.

I heard a tribute to him on A Prairie Home Companion yesterday. The tune composed for him had the line "he put the rock in rock and roll."

Although I didn't get to see you this afternoon, I can't say THANK YOU enough for coming to our family's rescue (of course it would have to be on a near 100 degree day, or thereabouts).

TyroneConfidential: MORE LAWSUITS FOR TYRONE

On June 5, Tyrone’s council went into their Secret Executive Session to discuss two new “threats” of lawsuits. The only information citizens received was that the lawyers were instructed to moved forward. What does that mean, who might sue, and why? People don’t sue for no good reason. They sue because their government has refused to help.

But not without delays from permit clerk Valerie Caldwell. After originally opening in the Publix Shopping Center 3 yrs ago, the shop was put out of business by Barry & Valerie.

I thought Bush or Cheney one would have by now had something to say about the current situations in the USA!

Email this article to everyone you know. The more Americans understand what went on "behind the scenes" to create this "sham" of an economy, the better.

sageadvice: We always expect the same from terrorists

I heard a conversation today about the current price of oil and how it had gone up just today more than it ever had before--about $10/barrel, I think they said.

sageadvice: Oil is up, stock is down!

But we have NO recession!
Jobs are way down (good ones), prices are way up on everything. Bread is $3.69 per small loaf. Looks as if even local taxes will go up.

bowser: Cable TV troubles, anyone?

Last fall we "upgraded" to Comcast's digital cable and then, this winter, added HD.

But ever since -- and especially since adding HD -- several channels have been unwatchable because of something called "tiling." The picture basically is fragmented into little blocks that dance around on the screen. It only happens on some channels, and it comes and goes on some of them.

Davids mom: Gang Prevention

It's important to start a program BEFORE the gang culture takes hold of a community. How? Continue to involve children in wholesome activities like Little League, Scouts, Church Activities, and family functions. Reach out to those students who are not participating in such activities - for whatever reason - and try to involve them before they seek the companionship of a 'gang'.
