It's been two and a half years, but I finally made it back! After being exiled for all that time, first to the east coast, and then to the west, finally, I fought my way back "home".

FR,

You make good points about the work done by local law enforcement fighting crime in the county. That is their job is it not? That is exactly why they are given the tools they have. I admire them for the job they do, I appreciate the job they do, but that does not mean that I think that blind loyalty is the answer.

PTC guy you almost got it. Your point about the town of Tyrone being largely responsible for the annexations and resulting problems, is valid. Unfortunately this insistence to enlarge their boundaries is not confined to Tyrone. However, trying to blame the School Board for overcrowding is incorrect.

I enjoy a good intellectual discussion. Mr. Morgan makes some good points, and it may indeed be moot since the project appears to be moving to Griffin. There remains the larger issue here that is the real core of the matter. This is not about rejecting senior projects. It is about a developer coming into a community with a state wide reputation for an outstanding quality of life and suggesting that they know what is good for the community. It is about a developer who spent hours meeting with some of the commissioners explaining the proposal in detail INCLUDING the 12 proposed ordinance changes written by, and tailored for that developer. I am sure that you are not suggesting that developers be allowed to write ordinances.
