Why is more fiber optics needed for Henry County? The county is traversed to and fro with fiber optics from AT&T (the parent company), Charter, Comcast, and who knows what else. On my street the fiber optics cables run over head and underground, I guess to cover all the bases. But the point being this project smells of more than just adding something for the county.
The county appears to be wanting to get into the business themselves or are they doing it for a benefactor. The person in charge of the gathering of this material is Clark Rainer. Now Mr. Rainer is a very bright and smart young man. He is out promoting the fiber optics plan on the local cable tv show that is home to our Chairperson Ms. Mathis.
It has been shown that this type of plan has failed several times before right here in Georgia. It has been said and by Mr. Rainer himself that the plan was not to make money for the county, but he has also stated that revenue could come from telecommunications outlets. We can't have it both ways.
This has been a proposal ever since our Chairperson got into office. And it is interesting that it is continuing to be a hot topic for a person who knows little on the subject.
The people of Henry County should be given the chance to say whether the county should spend their money in this way. It doesn't matter whether it comes from bonds, grants or stimulus it has to be paid back.
Listen to the talk and watch the body language and the story can be told very vividly. This project is our new "Nash Farm" all over again. It's about time it stops and we get down to the real business of the people.

That’s a great article Doctor. I am willing to bet that if we look deep into this that we will find out that one or all of the Commissioners have their hands in it some shape form or fashion. It could be Commissioner Basler making biscuits for the work crew, it could be Commissioner Bowman building their buildings for them, it could be Commissioner Holder selling them lawnmowers. It could be any number of things but somewhere they have their hands in it. These Commissioners are taking this County down the dirt road to economic disaster that we may not recover from. If the companies that do this for their lively hood don’t want to do it because they would lose money than it stands to reason why the Commissioners want to do this, those hands!!

It was strange to me that Chris Vaughn of Good Day Southside today, found it necessary to mention during his interview with Clark Reiner that "well you can not vote on it" regarding the Broad Band Fiber Optics that is being pushed upon the Henry County citizens! (the tax payers)
Chris Vaughn, by the way is BJ's little buddy that does all her interviews on channel 22 the SBN channel. This is her agenda, she does not care if you like it or not! she does not care if the citizens would like to vote on it or not. SHE DOES NOT CARE IF YOU WILL BE EVENTUALLY TAXED ON IT OR NOT!
My dear citizens,you are currently being taxed already by paying for the private broad band that serves the county now.
Fiber optics "has" to be upgraded to keep up with technology, (All the time there are new viruses,new ways to get rid of them,upgrades with different services that become obsolete) the list goes on and on at how much MONEY will be needed in keeping up with the technologies. I can guarntee that if they get this, it will cost the tax payers of this county much more down the road than they would ever have paid to private broad band providers.
All the photo ops,pre-rehearsed BOC meetings and the correoographed interviews are now basically looked upon as SILLY! We the citizens of this county do not want it any longer! We need change in leadership for the better. It is like the Senate and the House representatives, even though they have served a long time,we think their time has come to move on down the road, NEW BLOOD FOR THE CITIZENS, that is what we really need,representatives who will truly take on the tax payer's interest at heart.
These county commissioners are OUT OF CONTROL ON THIS! not only this but many other issues. Believe you me, many more instances that have affected so many citizens adversely in this county will come to light before election time. WE intend to inform the Henry County citizens before they cast their votes. WE intend to rally them together.
For once the current BOC needs to listen to the people they serve. Do you think they will?
Since the tax payers are already paying for the private broad band services then they should get the opportunity to vote FOR or AGAINST changing the current services!
Do we not live in a democracy? I THOUGHT WE DID.
You Mrs. Mathis work for the people that pay taxes in this county. They also pay your salary and all of the other elected persons sitting on that board.Have you forgotten that fact? You all act as if you have. Perhaps you have so much already that your salary is mute next to your political endeavor's? it makes a citizen wonder after reviewing your actions toward the people that elected you into your position's.
The tax payers of this county are sick and tired of your NASH FARM, and etc. etc. agenda voting of 5 to zero junk which is taking all the counties hard working citizens further into debt! The board members that backed Mrs.Mathis on this endeavor are all included in this statement.
I need to speak of all the tax paying homeowners that have been affected by your reckless voting regarding the Eagles Landing four lane going through an entire subdivision. I see these people coming into all the meetings you are holding. During public comment homeowner after homeowner, I see them all but get on their knees and beg you officials to save their homes, their childrens environment and their very way of life. The very essence of their lives. As CHRISTIAN people serving on this BOC, how can you listen to these pleading parents and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it! You have the power, you can change it, you do it all the time.IT IS CALLED "INCOMPATABILTY" to an existing property,look it up. Every citizen has a right under the law in the state of Georgia to enjoy their property.
All I can say is, we need to vote, we need to send a message loud and clear. JUST LIKE MASSACHUSETTS DID WITH OBAMA! IN 2010 and 2012.
