With her extensive experience in being a delinquent bill payer, she could have offered some real valuable insights on how to get deadbeats to pay up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-24132812510047244242011-05-12T16:08:37.448-04:002011-05-12T16:08:37.448-04:00I would be in favor of a watchdog group for the ci...I would be in favor of a watchdog group for the citizens' only if i felt the citizens' were being victimized by the elected politicians in this county. However, it's the citizens' that continue to elect these politicians into office so for that reason i am not interested in offering assistance. Once Dekalb voters learn to look past the color of a candidates skin or the candidates party affiliation, then progress can be made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-81348137385234862112011-05-12T16:02:28.674-04:002011-05-12T16:02:28.674-04:00"Can a service be provided with less employee..."Can a service be provided with less employees?".....Haaaaaa No shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-22852601267705763392011-05-12T11:18:10.620-04:002011-05-12T11:18:10.620-04:00@Anonymous 7:476 AM Trash collection is billed as...@Anonymous 7:476 AM Trash collection is billed as a separate line item on the tax bill. That is, sanitation is paid directly by the homeowner/business I think the amount is $260 per year for a home. The service is good. One of the few bright spots of County operations<br /><br />Cutting collections will save fuel, but that is about all.

These clowns (BOC) decimated the funds collected and squandered taxs for years. Citizens should have been more proactive in the good years to ensure that money collected was not wasted on foolishness. Vernon and his band of crooks over payed for new buildings, unneeded buildings where the builder was overpayed and money given back to THE vj campaingn fund. Citizens need a watch dog group. That is the only way to keep politicians in line. They need to have their feet held the fire like anybody else. City of Brookhaven? City of Tucker? City of Emory? City of Oakgrove Community? Possible if this continues. The countys problems cannot be fixed on the backs of the employees alone. It cannot be fixed on the backs of the citizens alone, It must be fixed first with good fiscal management of collected taxs money. Cut all you can from all departments without cutting employee pay. Cut all unneeded expenses in alll departments then see what you have. Evaluate then cut unneeded services or services that are not detremental to the community. Can a service be provided with less employees? For example do you need your garbage picked up twice a week? along with yard waste and plastics? How about once a week. That alone will cut the employees in half, half the trucks, half the fuel, half of everything. Hell privatize it if needed, get rid of the cost all together. That is just one department. Someone from one of these communities needs to stand up and take the lead and make good sound decisions. This can be done but not on the backs of one, but all after all has been done to make cuts. Then you will satisfy the mass. Untill then nothing will change. We are Rome in its fall. History repeats itself, We were once a great nation, if we dont change we will be rembered like Rome once was, just a memory of it's greatness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-86788842515085948352011-05-11T22:00:49.197-04:002011-05-11T22:00:49.197-04:00They sure dont mind going after our checks.They sure dont mind going after our checks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-37629699592626795352011-05-11T21:57:08.594-04:002011-05-11T21:57:08.594-04:00Sounds like the plan is to raise funds by shaking ...Sounds like the plan is to raise funds by shaking down poor people who couldn't pay their bills.
