Paying to Manage the Imaginary Muscle Shoals Sportsplex

 

Representation of Mikey Lockhard; Ms. Walrus Is Not Pictured

A reader demands change in Muscle Shoals:

We have learned from someone "in-the-know" circle with the Muscle Shoals Mayor and City Council of their backroom meetings. While Mike Lockhart and Councilman Donnie Linley are enjoying a nice beach vacation / Electric Cities Conference in Orange Beach, the Clerk and other Councilmen/woman are carrying on. However, they sometimes have loose lips and their agenda slips out to the lowly citizens, as you will see when you continue to read.

For the past 4+ years, they have hid behind closed doors and refused to acknowledge requests and return calls to average citizens that aren't in their "in-the-know" circle or on the "Mayor's Advisory Council".

We have been neglected. Our City has been neglected.

The current Mayor and City Council has enjoyed many many many trips across the country. They have bought expensive luxury vehicles. All using our tax dollars and raising garbage rates!!!

In May, 2024 the "in-the-know" groupies devised a money pit scheme for THE "Sportsplex", which means if it cost $65,000.000.00 to build  as they say - it will COST THE TAXPAYERS $140,000,000.00 (MILLIONS) TO PAY BACK WITH INTEREST. That is a heap of a lot of zeros and new taxes on us. Since the Sportsplex isn't materializing, their greed has cost us taxpayers $30,000.00 A MONTH paid to their buddies for management of the Sportsplex that is non-existent - yet every month the money goes to their buddies. 

In the meantime, while that "INSPIRATION" promise is costing us dearly, they devise yet another plan to scam money off us taxpayers - A SOLAR FARM that has greased the same palms that are receiving the $30,000.00 a month while pulling in others to help cover their tracks. Their "DREAM VISION" of being re-elected is fueling their lies. Exactly WHY is this election so critical for them? What are they really hiding? It is very probable those backroom deals are in reality a life or debt situation for them and their buddies. 

THE LATEST backroom joke they are going to play on the taxpayers? ANOTHER GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT.

We all know, when campaign season begins, the lies ramp up. After all, they are just trying to keep their jobs - right?

WHAT ABOUT US KEEPING OUR HARD EARNED MONEY - WE COULD ALL USE A TAX BREAK.

Get ready - THIS MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL are about to throw another wild promise our way.

WE ARE MUCH SMARTER THAN THAT. Those kids have cried wolf too many times in the last year.

VOTE AUGUST 26th - VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
