Note: In the 2013 Legislative Session the people of Alabama will speak with such intensity to cause our Legislature to actually listen and pass Initiative and Referendum. We have a year to learn, educate our communities and get 'er done.

Alabama's Forever Wild - everything you need to know and to be smarter than those in Montgomery who feel this program must be continued so it may receive a lion's share of the Alabama Trust Fund to purchase more acres - did someone say teachers, judicial and Department of Ag personnel losing their jobs? Remember to thank Senators Tom Whatley, Reed, and Holley for standing up and voting NEA while in committee. Two law schools of Virginia and Harvard have this to say about Forever Wild.

Macon County People Against a Littered State (PALS)

pals crewRecently, I had the pleasure of meeting several very dedicated Macon County PALS volunteers. These volunteers will go to loaded_truckalmost any limit for the cleanliness of our streets and communities, including stepping up when our county government, sheriff, and the judicial system fail to help keep our roadways free of litter and hazards and attractive to interested businesses. These volunteers are frequently seen picking up trash along our streets, vacant lots, and streams not only for appearance sake but health and safety reasons as well. While young and senior citizens are braving the elements picking up trash we have Macon County prisoners permitted to sit on their butts, while we feed and provide shelter and health and dental care for them. Prisoners dressed in orange jump suits can be seen picking up trash in Lee County throughout the year. Lee County officials hold their litterers responsible for their actions and utilize prisoners to clean their streets while Macon County is unable to do so. To describe some of our road right-aways as filthy is an understatement; check out the intersection of Macon highways 39 and 54, broken bottles, pampers, cans, and every other imaginable item.

UPDATE: April 17th As part of the Macon County clean up my daughter-in-law, two of my grandchildren, and I picked up 9 tires and 11 bags of garbage along Hwy 54 West in less than 1/2 mile stretch. Less than 10 minutes after we finished and before we could properly dispose of this road litter at least 3 soda bottles were along part of the highway we just cleaned. Only TRASH litters.

Macon County Planning Ordinance

This is not to be taken lightly. Why is this commission working so hard and with such intensity?

The Ordinance Preamble reads An ordinance, in pursuance of the authority granted by Act no. 2001-562 enacted by the Legislature of Alabama, May 2001 to provide for the establishment of districts within Macon County, Alabama: to regulate within such districts the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot that may be occupied, the size of yards and other open spaces, the density of population and the use of buildings, structures, and land, and to provide methods of administration of this ordinance and penalties for the violation thereof.

I am sure you know who this legislation is to benefit. The Planning Commission and Macon County through collection of unnecessary fees. There is no benefit for me in being told how I may use my property for legal activities. There are laws on the books not fully enforced now so why have more laws and bureaucratic growth at a time when Macon County is experiencing financial belt tightening.

If you do not want to give up your rights to freely use your property then do not sign a petition being taken door to door here in Macon County and should it get on a ballot vote NO or give up your property rights and continue paying ad valorum taxes.

The Commission meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm at the Macon County Courthouse.

It is my expectations that the candidates for these and other local positons share with us their specific plans rather than open statements in the form of wish lists. We deserve to know these plans before the March primary. I will include these specifics when received by the candidates.

If you are happy with paying 9% sales tax in Opelika and Auburn, then skip over this section. You may find it interesting that both cities unanimously approved the identical increase in their sales tax on June 21, 2011, quite possibly during the same hour. How about in less than a week the Opelika City Council struck again and passed a sewer rate hike. FOOD for THOUGHT: if my friend, a veterinarian, arranged with neighboring veterinarians to raise their costs for rabies vaccines to take effect on the same day would that not be collusion which is defined as secret activities of people who work together to do something illegal or underhanded?

A handy, but currently outdated, reference for all elected officials representing Lee County.
