MS Industries in Franklin County

News: 

Some weeks ago we mentioned MS Industries in Franklin County and commented that it was outside the city limits of Russellville. A reader corrected us and we have learned that not only is the facility, dubbed MS Industries II, inside the city limits, there are also new corporate offices scheduled to be located in downtown Russellville. MS Industries in Lawrence County (at Wolf Springs) continues to operate. 

And environmental groups continue to rail against it...


Opinion:

That brings us to a recent article in the TD which featured a business survey naming Alabama 6th in popularity with new business. We're not sure how many such organizations do a survey each year, but a quick Google disclosed that the state was 40th on the top survey listed.

It's great to report the good things about the state, but never balancing the facts isn't that great. If we believed all some news outlets reported, we would simply sit home in a recliner waiting for the jobs to come knocking on our door.

We're sure most have heard the adage: Don't dress for the job you have, dress for the job you want. Doesn't that also apply in other areas of our public persona? We see a TD letter writer has railed against the 15 day suspension of Bryan Hammond in Killen, calling it an infringement on free speech.

Most individuals over the age of 17 and with an IQ over 85 know that saying just what you think at any given time is apt to land one in quite a bit of hot water. What if Hammond had made a comment about the mayor's wife or the Baptist minister's daughter? That's still free speech, isn't it? Yet it's not the wisest action anyone cold take.
