Barry Babb leaves Sheriff's Office after 22 yrsThe Atlanta Police Department has gained one of our good ones! The Basics of Emergency PlanningEmergency planning is something that no one really wants to think about. However, the reality is that today it is important to make plans that will work in the face of any emergency. The bottom line is that many times we just do not know what is going to happen, so it is always best to have a plan. I think Officer Babb should be bailed out of his mess by the citizens of Fayette County so he will be here to fight another day.I think Officer Babb should be bailed out of his mess by the citizens of Fayette County so he will be here to fight another day. Justice in the Sheriff's OfficeIt has come to my attention and I am sure to many others, since the election of new Fayette County Sheriff Wayne Hannah, that some big changes have been made with in the department. Inmate Labor to save taxpayers moneyWhy is it that many counties in our state and across the nation are smart enough to use inmates for some governmental services and Fayette County is not? Inmates are sentenced to jail correct? Why do we allow inmates to just sit in our county jail and watch tv, play cards, checkers, chess, and basketball. They get 3 meals a day, a cell with warm blankets, showers, and medical care. How much are we spending on employees salaries, benefits, and raises just to cut grass, plant flowers, do manual labor on projects that just require sweat and hard work? Other counties use inmates to do such task. They cut the grass at county facilities, parks, ballfields, and government property. They work on grass cutting crews that ride tractors cutting the roadways. They are assigned as manual labor workers on road crews. These are just a few examples where Fayette Co. could take advantage of these people by saving thousands of tax payer dollars and making the inmates work to repay society and not keep free loading. Heck, if i were homeless, I could get 3 squares,a cot, indoor plumbing, a roof over my head, medical care, and entertainment provded by the county just by committing some minor crimes. Please tell me how not hiring one guard to oversee a work detail is not more practical than having entire departments of paid employees. Let use our resources and stop waisting money to pay for simple jobs. Other counties do this, Sheriff Hannah I ask, Why can't Fayette Co. do the same? Our new sherriff in townI came online after hearing what sherriff Hannah had done to Barry Babb in his first few days in office only to find that there was much more to the story than I had been told. 90% OF DEPUTIES SAY BARRY BABB FOR SHERIFFWell I've held my tongue, (or keypad), long enough. Tomorrow is the big day. Barry Babb has run the most gracious, respectful, and cleanest campaign ever. What time do the polls open tomorrow?I want to be the first to give Barry Babb a vote for sheriff. |
