Tyrone's Most Important Needs

Now that all the candidates have qualified, and have talked in glowing general terms about how good they're going to be if elected, let's hear them speak about the most important specific needs for Tyrone.

Its not a new library, Shamrock Park or recreation. When someone is injured the first priority is to stop the bleeding then start the healing. To stop the bleeding you have to get rid of those who are causing it. Numbers 1-5 have caused the bleeding.

No. 1 - Fire Barry Amos and Valerie Fowler. Everyone understands the problems here.

No. 2 - Don't support Michael Smola for Mayor.

No. 3 - Get rid of all Barry's boys & girls on the Planning Commission.

No. 4 - Don't vote for a Planning Commission member for Council.

No. 5 - Hire a new Town Attorney who won't make legal opinions that are contradictory.

TO START THE HEALING:

No. 6 - Repeal Ordinance #454 that took away property uses.

No. 7 - Codify zoning ordinances & regulations - Not one single elected or appointed official, much less any citizen, knows or can know Tyrone's zoning laws because the laws have never been organized in a single book. The Ordinances are an unbelievable messy shame. Never in the 30 year history of zoning in Tyrone have all the laws and amendments been totally published. Only Barry's & Brad Sears' interpretation.

No. 8 - Pass an ordinance that requires the government itself, when it proposes a zoning change or amendment, to post signs on affected properties and send certified notice to the property owners.

No. 9 - Pass a resolution to put legal Zoning Ads in the Citizen Newspaper. Legal Ads in the Fayette Daily News is sent only to 300 subscribers in Tyrone.

No. 10 - Insure that the zoning map on public display be signed by the mayor with all ordinances and amendments listed and dated as required by the Georgia Zoning Procedures Act.

Our representatives need to learn our laws, have a quick reference book and then follow them. Don't be dependent on a Town Manager or an Attorney. Don't make citizens have to hire a lawyer and sue to get the government to follow its own laws. Now let's hear the candidates tell us where they stand on these important issues specifically. If you are one of the 300 plus who have signed the petition at Tyrone Tire you don't want to vote for anyone who won't support these 10 items.

Another Lawyer Joke II

Apparently the retention of a Town Manager under fire and a lawyer with "contradictory opinions" are connected. The lawyer is tolerated because he does what Amos tells him to say. Am I wrong ?

Fire The Lawyer

Yes, Voice of Fayette, you've got it right, but the lawyer is more than "tolerated". He's in collusion with Amos. The Taxpayer paid lawyer even got an investigation going by the GA BAR on a citizen for "practicing law without a license" when the man sued Tyrone.
