Stockbridge Still Dysfunctional


Stockbridge Still Dysfunctional

This past Saturday, May 12, 2018,  Stockbridge yet again demonstrated just how dysfunctional and bias they truly are in the large scheme of things. They held a cemetery clean-up day at Memorial Cemetery. They have done this for the past few years at the same cemetery. Yet there are 13 cemeteries in the City limits and four just outside that could be included. But Stockbridge has consistently left all of them out of the picture and just keep up Memorial Cemetery. All of those buried there are black and were good citizens of the city. But the 13 other cemeteries are a mix of black and white. They all also were good citizens of the city. I have said this before to the city that companies look at how you take care of the cemeteries before they decide to locate to your city or town. Stockbridge has had a lot of bad press over the years and some are calling for the charter to be pulled. 

The bad press got going good just a few years ago when a person was elected to the Council that claims  Atlanta South on everything he speaks like a two dollar whore having a 2 for 1 special. He has cost the city money with lawsuits on top of lawsuits. Just recently he admitted to being the one that lead the charge that would not even let me ask to speak to the Council about Confederate History Month. Yes, he violated my First Amendment right to free speech that he himself claims. I am not the only one he has wronged. He has done more to the point he is in court because of his inept actions as a human. A friend asked me one time what I thought about Mr. Atlanta South. I looked at them and said he would make a great poster child for the use of condoms. But all's not lost with the upcoming vote about the Eagles Landing becoming a City. If the voters pass it he would be out of a job on the Council because he would be in the new City. And I don’t think the new City would elect him to the Council they have seen how he has drug down Stockbridge. I laugh about that all the time how’s that for karma Mr. Atlanta South LOL!!!

I hope the City of Stockbridge will be better but only time will tell. Here is a list of the cemeteries in the City and the others that are so close. Let’s let the City know we are watching them by contacting them and asking why they are not cleaning up the other cemeteries. If they still don’t do what’s right well I guess karma will take over like it did for Atlanta South LOL.

Henry County Recycling Center Closing In June


It looks like the Henry County Recycling Center is closing by the end of June 2018.  Now, this isn't published in any news outlet and the information comes directly from those working at the site.  Just think you Board of Commissioners is going to close a vital service to the community that is paid for through your taxes.  Interesting to note there are people who think it is okay to let it close.  Where do they think this stuff will end up, that's right on the sides of the roads and in woods or your very own cul-de-sac.  The landfills such as in Clayton County are charging over a $100 for things to be taken there.  Henry County has needed another landfill for decades now.  And it is laughable that they suggest taking things down to Spalding County on the other side of Hwy 16 to the landfill on Bailey Jester Road.  Yes, it cost money to operate a recycling center or landfill, but they are needed essentials in any community because humans produce trash at an alarming rate.  But it is a disgrace that the commissioners haven't the backbone to face the citizens and let them know that this service is being closed down.  Maybe this is part of the new direction we are hearing about from the building where people hide from the press and attack citizens who ask why these things are happening with no answers just more of the same rhetoric.  Just remember as you are riding down the road and there are piles of metal, glass, car batteries, tires and other recyclable materials along that rode who is at fault.  Elections are coming and it is time for many changes in that cathedral of what is supposed to be legislative action to help citizens not hurt them.  Remember when you pay your tax bill on your property that has increased in value and ask why isn't part of this being used to keep Henry Clean.
