"The War On The Poor Has Begun In Henry County, Georgia"
It was apparent watching from the audience that the Henry County Board of Commissioners on January 22, 2019 declared war on the poor families of Henry County. The county attorney made his presentation about creating a new board to oversee an "urban redevelopment authority" to take care of what they might perceive as "blighted" areas in the county. They have probably been looking for a way to remove the people who live in mobile homes, poor areas around the west side of McDonough and other areas. If a company wishes to own a piece of land now they will have a way to remove any obstacles that might be there. This is the kind of action that causes the deaths of people who are barely hanging as their lives are not as well kept as those people who take your homes from you. There are a lot of elderly, disabled and poor people who live the best they can and now they have found a way to make sure they go away. Even small struggling family businesses could be declared as a blight in an area because they don't fit. The problem is a lot of these people were in Henry County first. The new built up around them.. But those in power don't seem to give a damn about them they only see money signs for tax dollars. And they proved that by adding more houses and townhomes along Jodeco Road after many people were against it. The fact is those on the board who voted for this project had already made up their minds before they even sat down in their chairs. Henry County is fast turning into a seething pit of waste and dereliction of duty. But as usual the poor of the community will be the ones to suffer at the hands of unlitigated greed. They have pissed on the poor for so long and now they have found a way to bury them. In the US Constitution, the document stresses that a man's home is his castle and it doesn't say how large or condition that home might represent. But those who pretend to lead only follow what they are told to do by those in the background who have an endless stream of money in their pockets.
