Article About our Ticked-Off Aldermen

Here's an article in today's Daily News Journal that covers the whining of our aldermen about issues including the federal investigation into LaVergne's pink water problems. ::rollseyes::

I had to laugh at the comment about the council reviewing the city's parade and demonstration requirements because a lone person who is protesting a speeding ticket is doing so without a permit. Good grief. I think our elected folks need to concentrate more on topics such as:

1. Why they allowed FOUR auto parts stores to be built on the same block.
2. Why they don't require builders to put in a flippin' sidewalk on BOTH sides of the street.
3. How they can find money to build sidewalks around the schools so children don't have to walk in the busy streets.
4. How to give our codes department more opportunities to drive around the town and remove the ugly little real estate pointer signs that are STILL everywhere.
5. How the town can somehow be beautified more so Main Street doesn't look like the barf of Iron Giant (the gigantic metal-eating robot cartoon movie).
6. When the street from the middle school will be opened onto Sand Hill Road.
7. When they're going to finish one of the Shreibman streets so Fergus and Stones River roads aren't the only exits out of Lake Forest subdivision.
8. Put a plan in place to rename the idiotically named "LaVergne Lake Elementary School" to something that makes sense: Stones River Elementary, Sand Hill Elementary, Lake Forest Elementary, Oprah Winfrey Elementary. But that won't happen because I believe some of the illustrious people on the council are the ones who came up with the name in the first place. Stupid is as stupid does, I suppose.

With all my whining, maybe I should run for a seat on the Town Council! hahaha!!! Meanwhile, if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, call me!!!!! ;)
