Planning Committee or Plan Committed?
It seems that the County Executive has joined the ranks of those who recycle. Now before you get excited about adding another recruit to saving the environment the recycling she plans is not what you normally would expect from one who recycles.
As politicians are inclined to do, our County Executive seems determined to recycle some old politicians she is indebted to. Her plan seems to be appointing former Commissioners Chan Harris and Edwin Lovell to the Panning Commission Chaired by Ms Shari Flacy.
While I congratulate the County Executive on choosing private citizens to fill positions on some committees, if she would only do that with the Financial Management Committee and Budget Committee imagine the money that might be saved, I must admit to a great disappointment in her choices of Mr. Lovell and Mr. Harris.
In my opinion their appointment is nothing less than payback for their support in the beer sales fiasco that took place last year and led to their defeat in the August elections. If you remember they led the way into a morass of convoluted maneuvers that cost the county a considerable amount in legal fees and resulted in the State Attorney General ruling that we not only didn't have a distance established for the sell of beer the situation had to be reversed or even greater legal fees and penalties would be incurred by the county.
Doing special favors for friends and political allies not only has proven to be illegal and costly it reveals the unethical levels to which some will stoop.

Wow! Another negative thread against Mrs. Vanzant.
wow, he's at it again , except I think he is a she.
Lovell and Harris you got to be kidding.
The voters made it clear last Aug 5they did not want Harris and Lovell representing them. Now Ms Vanzant comes along and 'appoints' them to a county wide committee anyway. (Back on the county payroll).
You know I hate to say it, but Janet has been a big disappointment.
This woman is about the worst choice we've ever made in this county for the position she holds. I voted for her the first time, and I supported her the last run too. But there is no way I'll do it again. It seems she's either incompetent, or just no caring. Either way, she's a big disappointment to us all.
Is it possible to have a recall on her?
8:14
I don't think you'll need to worry about voting for Janet again. Wonder who you guys will sponsor next time?
9:11 Are you saying you know she wont be running again? We can only hope. I'd support a rat before I ever supported her.
But YOUR rat can't seem to get elected to anything.
9:35 You didnt answer the question about Ms Vanzant's next term.
Have you ever seen 9:35 answer a question?
He likes to change the topic.
Surely the Good Lord will see mercy on our beautiful county and spare us of this ineffective beast of a county executive in the next election. I will be saying my prayers!
11:57
While you're praying, why don't you ask the Lord to help you be less resentful and hateful? Just a thought.
I posted 9:11 but not 9:35. I was simply speculating that she might not seek another term. But thank God 9:35 is right.
6:17 AM And if you think the remainder of readers on this blog dont know you posted at 9:11 and 9:35 you have another think coming. You are too predictable.
6:17 The truth hurts. You can always pray about it though...right?
6:17 Why are you trying to tell other people how to pray?
janet sure had a nerve appointing someone that didn't get elected again.
She should of found someone that hadn't run for election. Her friend Clay would of been a better choice than who she wanted.
Guess she knew who would do what she wanted.
8:27
That's a lie. I only posted 9:11.
how much have you cost the county mr. barrett?
Excellent question 5:29.
5:29 Why did you post that on this thread? What did it have to do with what has been posted in the lastcfew post?
You just want to start something, then you have the nerve to accused others of trying to start something.
No wonder why you are called an enabler.
Now I've said the great word start with your old dribble.
I posted at 5:39 and NOT at 5:29. Accept the fact that others do not appreciate all the "humanitarian good" allen barrett has done for Giles County. Being facetious there, of course.
By the way, there is no enabler if you are referring to me. That's just one of his lies.
Augh, both 5:29 & 5:39 was you.
Your not that slick. And certainly not that popular either.
1:28
Either you are slightly to the left on the Bell Curve or terribly sleep deprived. Which is it? I SAID that I posted at 5:39, and you want to make a senseless argument of it. It's unfortunate that you can't accept the fact that there are others who do not see things as you do.
Popular? Why would I want to be popular on this blog? Why would it matter?
So your a "Christian Gentleman" hey? Well then: practice what you preach or shut the expletive up about it.
And I'd be careful accusing posters here of being dumb if I were you. You are a raging left wing caricature of a "Christian" if I've ever seen one. And your proving more and more with every post, that people like you, make Islam look reasonable.
Come on ole gal: I know you can't resist a parting shot here! Show us some more of those carefully crafted "Christian" comebacks strait from the pit of "Luv".
11:23
You are one of the most angry and bitter people I have ever had any dealings with. I think you have been drinking a bit too much of that kool-aid. Loosen up and relax a little; take a short family vacation. Do something!
Yes, I will defend myself once more and say that I am a Christian gentleman, a father, and a devoted husband. In addition, I happen to be a conservative in the tradition of Ronald Wilson Reagan. Does that finally clear up your confusion over what and who I am? I don't know how to make it any plainer.
If you happen to be 1:28 (I think you are), please answer my question. Are you slightly to the left on the Bell Curve or are you sleep deprived? I didn't call you dumb; those are your words. I just want to know.
Parting shots? Aren't you the one who keeps doing that?
Allen,
I respectfully ask you once more to consider blocking posts by people such as the enabler, and also those who can't resist the urge to answer this troll.
It should be obvious to you of what this poster is trying to accomplish posting here, and I'm afraid it's working.
Again, you provide about the only real coverage of news concerning county and city government, and I do like to see what others have to say regarding them. I also like to provide my own feelings, but this mess is not worth my time!
Please consider removing the post of the enabler if not to block them, and maybe they will go away.
Thank you.
8:37
You just keep calling me an enabler, so I must respectfully call that a lie started by one who seems to delight in this mischief. Stop it, and i will quit reminding you.
Would blocking my posts be consistent with free speech?
Who cares about your free speech. You never have anything to say unless it's to condemn Barrett. And while I'm at it; this blog is not subject to the Constitution, and therefore your post can be deleted at will, and for any reason.
Besides, your not a "good" citizen; your a annoying nuisance. Providing nothing more than useless noise.
Yes, but deleting opposing viewpoints is inconsistent with free speech, isn't it?
7:31 Did you post an opposing view point or a statement against Barrett?
2:01
Probably so. I have no respect for the man and see him as purely a troublemaker. Why can't I oppose him? He opposes others and you say nothing.
What was deleted bimbo?If nothing was del;eted then you just styiring up trouble
8:37
There was no need for you to call me a name. I simply asked the question if deleting posts (unless vulgar) was consistent with free speech. What do you think?
6:19 If planes crash is that consistent with wearing shoes? That question makes more sense than yours and it's senseless. What has been deleted dude, nothing but cussin.
7:58 I keep waiting for you to post why what Barrett said was wrong, but you have such a problem all you can do is blast Barrett. The reason most don't say anything when Barrett says something about anyone is because they agree with him.
You seem to be the only don't but can't tell why so you come back with things a child would do.
There is a lot of people I don't respect but I try to do what God would want me to do.
7:27
Dude, those are your words and not mine. I never said he deleted anything he doesn't agree with. He just condescends and talks down to views that are opposite his.
3:54 You can't even remember what you post, little dude.
Dude? I prefer being called a Christian gentleman. Thank you.
Do you really want to argue that point again? Is there anything further?
What's wrong with being called a dude?
I just as soon read where you are a Christian gentleman and no an enabler as the stupid stuff you've been coming up with.
Remember a Christian gentleman shows what he is not have to tell people he is. laughing
Is it ok for you to call:

Friday, March 25, 2011 3:54:00 PM
a dude but no one can call you one.
Now 7:18 you can laugh at this one.
7:21
Have you been drinking?
7:21
Have you been drinking?
Does someone have to be drinking to ask you why you can call someone Dude, but no one can call you one.
I didn't know Dude was an ugly word.
10:28
Like you, I didn't realize that dude was an ugly word. I asked if you had been drinking, because you sound so incoherent. Have you been drinking?
10:44 Why didn't you answer why you could call someone dude but no on can call you dude?
As for have I been drinking, no I'm just a Tennessee hillbilly but I don't drink. Not the smart educated nut as you who never answers a question only comes back with a question. Oh you must be a politician. Isn't that the way they do?
9:51
I never said you couldn't call me a dude. You'll do it anyway. What I said is that I prefer being called a Christian gentleman, which I am.
I wouldn't know about politicians. I've never been one.
Is there anything else?
10:24 Do you have anything else?
I think to call someone a Christian gentleman is silly. I might say he is a Christian gentleman, but never call him that like I would say Hi Dan.
Hi Christian Gentleman, how are you today?
Hi Dude how are you today? I just thought some called a male dude when they didn't know his name.
11:05
Still, I would prefer being called a Christian gentleman...not trying to be difficult here.
When you earn the title maybe you'll be called by it until then we all know what name you have earned.
12:11
Since we live by grace I will never earn my title. However, any of us can undeservedly be in a covenant relationship with God.
I'm wondering if a true Christian gentle man or woman would be posting on the blog.
1:06
Now that's a good question to ask the blogmaster. Ask him.
2:47 Why can't you tell me aren't you the blog master?
3:52
You and I both know who the blogmaster is.
Don't the christian Gentleman want to be the blog master? How many times have you seen where said a post needs to be deleted? lol
4:07
Would you agree with me that filthy comments and allegations about people should be deleted along with profanities, vulgarities, and accusations of sexual misconduct? Yes or no?
They are deleted dumbo when they are cast against private citizens.
Your so profane I don't know why you ain't been deleted off the planet.
7:46
Would you agree that the filth posted about officer Dean Glossup should be deleted? What about the nasty names Mrs. Vanzant, Mrs. Harwell, and select others have been called?
How would you feel if someone were on this blog calling you or one of your family members such things as a fornicator, an extortionist, or some other derogatory name? I use those merely as examples. How would you feel? Could you answer that?
I agree the post against Mr. Glossup should be deleted. As for as how I would feel if nasty names was said about a family member or me, I would fight back. But if not about me or my family I would let the ones that it is about fight back and not add to it.
7:46
So it's ok to say filthy nasty things about anyone you guys deem worthy of the attacks? Yes or no?Some names that come to mind are: any commissioners who do not meet your standards (includes entire 7th District), Mrs. Vanzant, and Mrs. Garner. There are others, but it's just too early to cogitate.
I didn't realize that jackson was in the 7 district
