The State of the County for a Price

The State of the County for a Price

Nothing changes in Henry County and it's elitist way of approaching the citizens.  On May 10, 2017, the chairperson of the BoC June Wood will be giving the State of the County address to the Council for Quality Growth, and the Chamber of Commerce.  They will be having this affair at the Merle Manders Conference Center in Stockbridge.  If you are a member it only costs $45 to attend and $65 if you are not a member.  This is really a load of crap.  The citizens of Henry County deserve to have the State of the County address be made for free at the Henry County Administration building where the seat of Henry County Government resides.  This has been done in years past and the citizens did not like it.  It looks like June Wood and her cronies are continuing the business as usual approach towards the citizens of the county.  In response to this approach they are taking, it would be a good thing to boycott any business in Henry County for a few days to get the message across in the loss of revenue and that is where the power resides with the people to either go along with this elitist way of doing business or doing something firm about what is going on in Henry County.  The people will never see anything better about their government unless they take charge of it.  Remember all this when election time rolls around for these people who sit on the board looking high and mighty when they are just what they are and they should look in the looking glass sometime to see that the face they are looking at is not the one they were born with.  It is truly disgusting that the State of the County address has to be made to those who are the problem in the county.  They have taken the people's tax money for years and played with it and look at your road situation.  Remember that when you are stuck in traffic this summer with an overheated car.  Remember all those smiling faces that said we will fix your problems, but you must pay to listen to what I have to say.  This is not true government of the people, by the people and for the people.  This is government by the pocket book.  They will tell you it is for the rent of the conference center and that is a load of dung.  The conference center will be used as a government function and wouldn't cost them a dime.  And of course, they will produce some papers saying we paid this when that is the way this type of government run debacle is handled with smoke and mirrors.  And the chairperson will talk about how they will protect you at home, but they cannot even protect their own firefighter's property while they are working.  Of course, the drones for the chairwoman who helped to put her in office will be on the attack and they are only automatons pretending to be human.  It looks like with every election cycle the county and cities go down a hole that has no bottom to it.  But what is interesting about this scenario is that they realize that the average citizen of Henry County is working and can't be at a function such as this and surely cannot afford to pay to listen to the same old rhetoric.  Citizens this smells like a three day dead fish that has been left in the sun.  What is really sad is that they don't care about you or anyone else except themselves.  Here we are in the 21st century and these people are acting like they did in the early 20th century during the big boss days.  How does this make you feel?  Do you like the view from the cheap seats where you are not wanted?  Then, show up and do something about it because it looks like Henry County has gone by the wayside and something ugly has taken it's place.   As people did in the past to get their point across they protested.  Protest this event and any other until the citizens are truly recognized and those who are pretending to be your friend on the BoC have been replaced.  The future for Henry County is looking bleak as our county that was a comfortable place to live is now looking more and more like crime central and the counties that the citizens of Henry have feared for so long.  They moved in, brought their problems, and the BoC doesn't give a damn.  That is why you must pay to listen to a speech filled with propaganda that would make any dictator happy.  The late great Henry County.
