There’s a very good reason why Lee Hearn is jumping ship as top dog at Fayette County Public Works and heading for a # 2 job in Henry. The guys at Stonewall can’t keep the lid on the screw ups with the county transportation plan and the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.

All the rats get off the ship before it sinks.

Henry County needs all the help it can get. I wish him well, but he has his hands full over there. I advise getting a helicopter for getting around the County on his rounds.

I think Fayette County should get someone in there that knows what there doing Tyrone lost the best public works director, Denny Nelson and now Fayette County should find him.

Losing Lee

Hearn is a great loss for everyone in Fayette County. Lee had the respect of his employees and superiors.

And no, Lee wasn't point man for Dunn, Lee was no one's waterboy. But he did care about Fayette County and worked to that end.

Thanks for your help with (4) different maintenance and traffic issues you helped to correct in my area. You responded promptly and respectfully each time and you truly showed to me a great example of how a public servant should treat a citizen. As for the other accusations being made I am clueless. But again thanks and best wishes.

Hearn lost his opportunity in Fayette

The road SPLOST, thanks to Steve Brown, is getting hammered. Steve yelled from the roof tops that the SPLOST was a hoax, but not enough people listened.

Lee Hearn was Greg Dunn's point man on the stuff. Direct PAC got the boot and now Hearn has been shown the door on his way to Henry County as an assistant.
