What Ricky Did Next...

Ricky Terry is now the uncontested chief of police in Sheffield. The entire city council had opposed him, but failed to file a law suit against his employment in a timely manner. What does Terry plan to do now? Paint the office walls. He also has previously ordered new badges and patches. Heavy is the head and all that.

Sheffield police needs real leadership. Is it getting it? At least one resident of Village Landing Apartments says Terry has refused to return his phone calls. We doubt this is unusual. We hear many citizens from the highest echelons of society to the lowest who complain of civil servants across the Shoals not returning phone calls or e-mails. 

Sheffield police officers need more training and pay raises, not freshly painted walls. Sure, the latter would be nice, but a spruced up office interior doesn't improve service. Perhaps when all that Inspiration Landing money starts rolling in the city will really start to shape up?

Any word on the status of interest payments on the USDA loan the city supposedly took out to finance parts of Inspiration Landing? Don't forget that Shoalanda is still accepting a limited number of investors for her hover board company...
