Tim Melson Wants to Give Danny Pettus a Raise

 



Everyone likes to get a pay raise - right? Usually, such raises don't require legislation. In case you missed it, our state senator Tim Melson has introduced a bill to raise the pay of our county commission chair Danny Pettus.

SB 133 - Relating to Lauderdale County; to amend Section 45-39-70, Code of Alabama 1975, to increase the salary of the Chair of the Lauderdale County Commission; to provide retroactive application; and to make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.

We believe that Commission Chair Pettus means well. We also believe that his priorities are not always in the correct order. Instead of speaking to outside groups about imaginary bogeymen, Danny should be concentrating on real needs of an underachieving county.

How are those roads in Waterloo coming along? Even more importantly, how is the improved plan for animal control progressing? There are more problems, but these two stand out.

Perhaps Sen. Tim could help out with the animal situation by introducing some much needed legislation concerning their basic needs? Pardon our French, but ALFA be damned.

  1. Not one word about this latest waste of taxpayer money is reported by the Times-Daily.....perhaps a report or two hid in the line up of the Huntsville television stations although this is doubtful....thank you Shoalanda for this report but do the people of the Shoals area have to resort to blogs and message boards on the internet for their news? JUST LIKE THE LOCAL REPULSIVECAN POLITICIANS WANT IT TO BE! Keep em stupid...LOOK SQUIRREL!
