Lockhart's Muscle Shoals Project Supports Tuscumbia!

 

From faithful reader M.S.X. Ray:

Ongoing lawsuits in Cornelius Landing as a result of poor drainage and the not so long ago flooding in Nathan Estates should be a priority for the City of Muscle Shoals. That priority would include removing barriers to irrigation and floodwater retention.

Times Daily reported on August 4th there were retention pond and area surrounding the pond that needed work in Nathan Estates.  Mikey Lockhart said the city can't afford for a company like Coldwater Landscaping to professionally remove trees and make needed improvements inside this extremely high taxed neighborhood. He stated city employees could cut down the trees. Not so sure if the city employees have the experience in stump removal and landscaping that would be warranted for a neighborhood that creates such a large tax base.

If the city is in such dire straights for Mikey to shortcut infrastructure and neighborhood safety, it seems a little strange we now see social media posts of his office building undergoing cosmetic remodeling at the time he was thumbing his nose at the Nathan Estates residents.

While he would not hire a professional landscape company to work on something like neighborhood improvements, he hired an interior designer for his remodeling inside city hall. Not only did he hire an interior designer, but purchased the goods from a "Southern Gems" company that is not in Muscle Shoals! The remodeling appears to be an ongoing project with more to come. 

Nathan Estate Residents - if you haven't gotten your property tax bills, get ready. While everyone is scrambling to pay the high Muscle Shoals utility bills and property taxes, you can raise your air conditioning to 80 degrees to save on your bill and go sit in the plush offices at city hall where the temps are cool and the new decor supports a business in Tuscumbia. Way to go Mikey!

Sorry - you don't get to vote on a new mayor in November.
