Y'all know my politics by now, and my opinion of the AJC and Bookman is not fit for print. I understand Bookman is a pretty decent guy, and I agree with his opinions 15 to 20 percent of the time. Especially on water issues in the metro area. Speaking of which, what the hell is DeKalb going to do in minus three years when the federal court ruling goes into effect placing Chattahoochie water withdraw levels back to the 70's level. I understand the new 96 inch feed pipe to the raw water intake is on hold due to a lack of funding. The "Hooch" is DeKalb's only water source. It would be foolish not to start to planning and building an alternate source of water for DeKalb, like RIGHT NOW! It will take at least five years to build the facilties, snd my guess is that it won't happen. Metro Atlanta is betting the federal courts or Alabama and Florida will back off on the issue. History has shown otherwise, the issue is not really about water, but metro Atlanta's unrestrained development and Alabama and Florida are trying to cash in by redirecting Atlanta's growth to them. I can understand Alabama's position, but Florida has enough industry and tourism to easily support itself. Will the feds actually go through with this devestating court order? Probably, and DeKalb should prepare for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-54415215232417624972009-09-06T22:55:03.749-04:002009-09-06T22:55:03.749-04:00Yup, LoFlyer, I think you meant Jeff Brickman.

Running the POTUS through NCIC is high profile; the secret service is dead serious about protecting the Prez, Hence the invistagation by the DA. I doubt Gwen came up with this "special investigator" on her own, she is too timid for that. My guess is that the SS or GBI dropped a hint to Gwen that an investigation was in order, and she complied.<br />This investigation just begs the media to ask some pretty obvious questions to the D.A. as to why there was no investigation of Don Frank or good ole' Vern over running Dale Russell and others through NCIC and the motavation behind the checks. <br />If the DA chooses to prosecute the officers, I would imagine the defense lawyers will be asking the same questions of unequal application of the law.<br />To DeKalb citizens, you have consistantly voted in your leaders based upon color and party.<br />Jay Bookman did a fine job as an appointed D.A., but he was white and Republican, it was common knowledge that Gwen was a poor soliticitor but you voted her in, just like you voted in Sheriff Dorsey and CEO Vernon Jones (twice). Start voting for who is best qualified for the job instead of race and fracken' politics. <br />It appears we lucked out with CEO Ellis, he is serious about fixing the county, but he hasn't come to grips with any of the problems except for Public Safety.<br />On the lighter side, I was trying to come up with a "clean" accronym for the D.A. Dis-functional Airhead was the best I could do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-17898085973732362052009-09-05T10:52:16.873-04:002009-09-05T10:52:16.873-04:00Hey.....Willie D.....don't think for one minut...Hey.....Willie D.....don't think for one minute you have been forgotten aboutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-80507584336564758262009-09-04T10:53:28.389-04:002009-09-04T10:53:28.389-04:00Im running Obama on Monday so I can get two months...Im running Obama on Monday so I can get two months off with pay.STUCK IN ZIPLOCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-66425670881837992692009-09-04T01:39:55.293-04:002009-09-04T01:39:55.293-04:00The anonymous poster who thinks running 27's a...The anonymous poster who thinks running 27's and 29's on the President just out of curiosity is just as stupid as the officers who did it!

There is PLENTY of crime in DeKalb County but believe me, this is not it! If the D.A. attempts to prosecute these two officers for this silly act, I will turn totally against her and work hard to see that she is not reelected. The CEO should step in and put these officers back to work. Give them a week suspension for their conduct and put them back them back on the street!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
