"A Bad Rezoning For Miller's Mill Road"
It is not bad enough that traffic can be horrendous on Miller's Mill Road, now the Henry County Board of Commissioners has decided to make the situation worse. They okayed the rezoning of the property on Miller's Mill Road between Berry Hill Airport and Moseley Park. Hundreds of homes and condominiums are coming to the site. Think about when they are having ball tournaments at Moseley Park and the added traffic that brings along with the traffic from these homes and you have a recipe for disaster. The schools are already overburdened with students and these added homes will bring another load of children upon the area schools that will not be able to handle them. The 4th district commissioner who pushed to get this development in the area said that it is the school's responsibility to make sure there are enough school's. Spoken like a true democrat. Yes, go up on school taxes on your homes to build more school space for more and more children. Your tax dollars being shoved into a draw with a bottomless pit. She will be our next ambassador to outer space. No one on the BoC was listening to the public who were there to speak on the building of this ant hill. They already had their minds made up. They didn't give a tinker's damn what those residents had to say. And with children in the audience, it should be called child abuse to watch their political leaders create such a debacle. The BoC is nothing more than a yes person for the developers and big money. Many have wondered how much they are making on the people from outside coffers. Maybe a federal investigation into their checking and savings accounts is in order. Especially, the one that cannot sit up straight in his chair. That is nothing more than a rude human being saying I don't care about you as long as you pay and I will be glad to soak you every year day in and day out. Henry County has turned itself into a wasteland of greed and piss poor planning. Traffic, crime and lower property values are coming. And the chance for a plane accident will always loom over those homes. And do anyone at the BoC care? That answer is no.

"The People Now See That Racism is Ruling The BoC About Nash Farm"
At the March 19, 2019, Henry BoC Meeting, the commissioners heard from Parks and Recreation Director Tim Coley about the upcoming Southern Jubilee Festival and Civil War Re-enactment that goes along with it. According to the ordinances of Henry County they have to come to the BoC to ask if they can use black powder for the guns and cannons that will be used in the re-enactment. The board voted 3 to 3 which caused the question to fail clearly along racial lines. You can't have a re-enactment without the guns. There would be no bullets or cannonballs in the guns just black powder. What do they want them to do, use cap guns? During the public comments, those who have permission to have the event from Henry County were clearly upset with the commissioners. These people are members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They are likely to file suit against Henry County for establishing this precedent because there is nothing in the agreement about having to go to the BoC for permission. Also, the BoC in former years has allowed this event to take place without incident. Now since there is a voting block on the commission they want to use their racist mind to obstruct an event that would bring money to Henry County. Now it is likely to cost Henry County. Even the county attorney alluded to this point. The people in the audience could clearly see that there was some contempt by the board members with one another. The commissioner for the district who likes to be called the "smoking hot boss" is nothing more than a racist who wants Nash Farm to go away. She already got rid of the Civil War museum there and brought in some of her friends there for a farmers market at a better price. The 5th district commissioner said he couldn't support a group who has ties to Nathan Bedford Forrest. Now that is a big statement from a little-minded man who must think General Forrest is still living. (That could be from his being hit in the head playing football which he filed suit with the NFL about.) If this is the case we cannot support him or his other colleagues who vote with him because of Malcolm X. They cannot make the past go away and they cannot make the white race go away either. All they are succeeding in doing is awakening a very large sleeping giant. This type of political problem will only cause the sore that is festering in Henry County to grow and one day bust.
