We Are Not Atlanta!!!

An article for the Henry County Community News Blog from a long time Ellenwood resident.

On February 17, 2015 at the Henry County Board of Commissioners meeting  I watched these people take away some of the rights of private property owners and this will be met in court when certain businesses want to come into the area and are denied.  Fairview has always been a quiet and nice little community that didn’t need all the hype it is receiving as of late.  My husband said it is a lot of sh*&t and he is not the only person who feels this way.  We moved to this area in 1983 from Atlanta to get away from the problems that were feeding that area.  Now we see the same problems growing here.  When taking property rights from owners who might have an opportunity to sell  a piece of their property to a business such as a pawn shop then it is getting to the point of dictatorship and appeasing a certain sector of the society.  This leads to more corruption and more under the table deals of people in the area wanting a property fixed to put in a park or
 other place such as this doctors complex.  Many are asking questions as to how much money was put under the table to fill the accounts of those in power.  My neighbor told me to look at a website and see how they are trying to make this Atlanta instead of where we live.  This is the kind work that has hurt this county in the past because they are looking out for themselves and their ego driven purposes.  Wonder when property owners take the county to court over this issue will it still be the in thing.  We are not Atlanta and we will never be.
