I don't pretended to understand Democratic politics nor do I ponder very often what the reasons behind the actions are, but I do have a question.

How could someone win a majority of the "pledge" delegates and not receive the nomination of the party?

I would appreciate a local perspective.

Thanks!

Just received this email from the secretary of the GMAC.

"The GMAC members are planning to have a public meeting at the Library on March 3rd at 6:30pm to present our findings to the public and would like to encourage each of you to attend for information prior to our reporting to you at your work session in March. We will cover things in much more detail at the Library because we will have more time." -J.C. Franklin, Secretary

Put on your calendars!

I have ran across a resolution that was passed in 2004 that has some of the same verbage as the resolution that is to be considered on tomorrow night's commission agenda, review it if you have a opportunity and give some feed back.

I would like to hear what everyones take on the new buffer resolution that will be before the Blount County Commission next week.

I know what property owners in my district are saying, in short "another government regulation that is not only placing more restrictions on property that I own, but also requiring financial expenditures by me and then taxing me for the improvements"

What's your take...?

Buffer Resolution Draft

Thanks!

Sorry!

Property Tax Freeze -

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and that you are preparing for a Merry Christmas.

The Property Tax Freeze that is on the Commission agenda for the December meeting of the County Commission. What's your opinion? $32,100 maximum income, which is equal to 40 hours a week at just over $14.00/hr before taxes.

Should the Commission use this method to offer a break to those who are eligible or should the commission looking at subsidising the current tax break program that is in place?

Thanks!

I am curious, I know curiosity killed the cat.

What if anything is the Local Government for Blount County doing right?

Thanks!
