According to Joseph Swords with the Georgia State Patrol:
Steve Preston White, 56, of Trion, was driving his red 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee this morning when he struck a curb at the intersection of Highland Avenue and U.S. 27. The SUV flipped onto its side and then struck a 1997 Ford Windstar minivan before landing on its roof.
The driver of the Windstar, Marsha Lin Kessler, 47, of Summerville along with her passengers Angela Ann Summerlin, 20, of Summerville and a 4-year-old boy, were injured in the wreck and transported to Floyd Medical Center. Kessler and Summerlin were still in the emergency room at Floyd Medical Center as of 2 p.m.
"Because of some speed issues there, he had a lot of momentum and kept going," Swords said.
I am saying No to SPLOST Project the people of Floyd county are not made out of money to afford more bills.
I can not understand why anyone would want to increase their
taxes again on this another expensive SPLOST projects. Why in the world do we
need a $ 26,696,250 county-wide public safety communications
system. Then $ 4,000,000 to construct and Emergency Operations Center.It takes no more
than 30 minutes to travel from down town Rome to any
part of Floyd county. It takes only a micro second to call
someone on the phone. This is a waste of our money.
Not only
will this cost you $10 per $ 1000 that you spend but who
will pay for running this Mega projects. It is estimated
to cost $100,000 to @ 400,000 or more dollars the first year to operate the County-Wide
Public Safety Communications Systems. Then how much the next year? Then the
government will have to increase your property taxes to pay for this unnecessary
projects.
Also Floyd county has 100 acres across from the
present 300 acres that they want to acquire for $ 5,983,500 so it can
sit for another 10 or more years at a cost of $ 20,000 per acre. They can
not get anyone to use the present 100 acreas across the road.
Look at the building across the road and you will see an empty
building that was Florida Tile. Look in Shannon and you will find another
empty building that use to work 1500 employees and it sit empty.
Look again down the road below Shannon and you will find another
large piece of land that the county bought and it still sits empty.
Why should the people in Floyd county pay for the Renovation and
inprovements at Barron Stadium. What is wrong with what we have
now. Why should Floyd county pay $ 1,899,631 for the Renovation and Contruction of CIty
owned North west georgia Regional Commission Building.
I get so tired of hearing people say "well we don't have to pay
for all of this because people that come into our area will help pay for
the projects", but they don't understand that when the project
are built who pays for the upkeep of the building and personel
You and I do, with increase on our property taxes. No money is
alloted in the Splost projects to help pay for the upkeep. So you
pay not only $10 per $1000 you spend but your
property taxes increases. Remember all our property taxes
increase by $200 to $ 300 this year because of lost of jobs
and poor economy. I will vote No!!!.
I can not afford another Tax.
