Why is the Lowndes County Commission spending our tax dollars to sue
a local company for collecting trash, in appeal at the Georgia Supreme Court this morning?
Why not just let Deep South Sanitation compete with
Advanced Disposal Services?
Perhaps we should “stop wasting taxpayer money”,
as
Gretchen said to the Commission a year ago.
From
DSS’s facebook page 5 May 2014,
LOWNDES CO & ADVANCED DISPOSAL VS DEEP SOUTH UPDATE:
Dear Friends of Deep South, we have been notified that a date for
the “APPEAL” has been set for Monday, May 19, 2014 @ 10am to be held
in Atlanta, Ga. before the Supreme Court. The Lowndes County
Attorney along with Advanced Disposal’s Attorney’s will have the
opportunity to argue their case. Our Attorney, Rob Plumb will speak
on behalf of Deep South and for the people. There will not be a
ruling on this day. We will post the results of the Court’s ruling
on our FB page as soon as we receive word.—As always, we thank
all of you for your prayers and support. God Bless America!
And from
DSS’s facebook page yesterday:
Appeals Court Tomorrow Morning @ 10am.
“Thank you” to every one for your thoughts and prayers. Cary and
Trevor just left headed to Atlanta. The appeal will be heard by the
Supreme Court and a ruling should come at a later date. Hopefully,
this will be the end of the lawsuit filed by the County and Advanced
Disposal. We will post any news on our FB page as soon as we get
word from our Attorney. Thanks again, your support means the world
to us.
As Gretchen said
a year ago to the Commissioners who voted for that unnecessary
lawsuit,
I wonder which one of you said “This will really attract
people to start or relocate business in our county when we sue one
of our local business owners.”
If I were considering a business move, I wouldn’t move to a county
that eats its own.
I ask that you drop the lawsuit and stop wasting taxpayer money.
Thank you.
We don’t have to be a county like that.
Let’s change some Commissioners and stop this waste of taxpayer money.
LAKE supports
Gretchen Quarterman for Lowndes County Commission District 5.
Please vote tomorrow, Tuesday May 20th.
It’s not a primary: that’s Election Day for this Special Election
for District 5.
Your vote matters.
