Review of February 3, 2015 Board Meeting: The Extortion Edition
There were several people that came to make presentations to the board. Before you ask, yes, I Googled them and apparently it's catching on because Alderman McGraw Googled them as well. First on the agenda was John Walker of the Ms. Forestery Commission addressed the board about establishing a Fire Wise organization. The organization allows for grant opportunities. The requirements are as follows: 1. Form a fire wise board, 2. Invest $2/per capita via in-kind services, 3. Complete a community assessment proposal, and 4. Host a fire wise day. Next on the agenda was Russell Heidelberg of Pritchard, AL. He suggested the city take advantage of a program established in 2010 to help the city gain financial stability.

The only ones that don't want a police department are those transporting drugs at the airport and those doing drugs on the board but I think they're the same. No one care about that little dope being sold in the hood. Those in the hood are their own worst enemies. This city is going to regret their decision when one of them old white women who live alone is victimized and the fact that there's not enough officers increases the chances of that happening.
