I’d like to start with a moment of
silence for all that have given their -all- for our country. “Thank
you” is not a worthy word for your service. There really isn’t a
word to describe it. The best I can do is bow my head in respect to
honor the best of our best.
WELCOME BACK #148!!! And THANK YOU
for your service! Again, no words can describe my gratitude and
respect.
There’s really not a whole lot left
new to review, IMHO,
Covington’s 4th of July
fest has been moved September 6th. Labor Day weekend. Be
there, or be square! (I know that’s lame, but sometimes I can’t
help it)
Layla Zon has been appointed to
replace Sammy Ozburn as a Superior Court Judge. I don’t know how
this happened. (In my best Forest Gump impression) That’s all I
have to say about that.
The whopper of the week goes to our
dear Newton County Commissioners! As our property taxes go up,
they’re giving Lidl a $200,000 break in permitting and review fees.
I WANT THAT DEAL!!! It doesn’t even stop there. Over the course
of 9 years Lidl get’s to enjoy a tax-abatement deal. Taxes will
be abated or reduced. For real property, the tax valuation will
start at 5% in year one moving up to 90% in year nine. I’m more
than willing to bet $1.00 (signed) that it will change names/company
organizations before those “benefits” run out.
And I hope we all go out and vote.
