Wake up Chattanooga,V.W. sounds great and it will help 3 or 4 years down the road,how long will it take us to get back on our "investment".We all can take credit for V.W.coming here,we are paying for it all.Look what all our mayor has done for us."didn't take long.Spent millions on the water front, multi-millions for V.W.,and who knows how much on keeping his friend "city director of general services",our keeping his wreck as quiet as possible,Keeping Capt.Synder, and can't help remember him trying to keep Marti.Try talkiing to the mayor and who do you get Mr.Beeland-maybe he should run for mayor we here and see him more than what we have now

OK,Dr.Scales,Mr.Krantz and every county employee with a county take home car,turn them in so we can buy books for our kids in school,tehy don't have enough to be able to bring 1 home,to study.They want the teacher to retire early,why save the teachers and cut the pay of the upper crust.remember back when to systems merged"we will save money"not happened yet.Spend more money on enterprise south,V.W.is 3 years aways our kids are here and now,Mrs.Thurman is the only one who can see the big picture.Step up Dr.Scales the system is sick,you should fix it doc.Be the first you to turn in your county car.

I know police officers work hard when they work,just like fire fighters,if they have the same retirement plan,they should be paid the same way also.The only problem i have as a tax payer is that most of the officers have take home cars,and work extra jobs with these cars,and who pays for the cars, servicing and most all the gasoline for the cars.I would gripe so much about my overtime pay,if i had a take home car with everything paid for..

Do we need 4 more yrs.of our current mayor,ask any city employee who doesn't wear a tie.Just look at all of the bad news that has been swept under the carpet,problems the city has had and nothing has been done. Mayor-had a wreck in a city vehicle Police Officer-medical problems and a loaded gun City director of general services-sexual harassment-living in Georgia-fired from Fort Oglethorpe(wonder why)can't ask our mayor,you have to talk to his spokesman. Our Mayor tired to cover for Marti R.(at least she did live in Tenn.) Mayor found free land and 40 millon for a car plant,but we can't feed or shelter our homeless.A million would build a decent shelter,but the Mayor is more willing to lease art for the river front and other places around town and spend millions to repair the riverfront(but he did have old parking meters put up around town for spare change for the homless)all the info here was in the paper,only thing on the front page,the car plant imagine that)I just hope the people in Chatt.wake up and see what has gone on here the last 4 yrs.Bush is gone now it is time for our Mayor to go. Where is Gene Roberts-we need you back
