It's hard to believe that here in this small area crazy is happening. We live in a primarily Republican state and area, though some of us remain Independents and a few Democrats. If this were DC I would probably not expect to see a difference in policies. Well, that just changed, imagine that. It would seem that not only does the upper levels of government abuse power and are living in a fantasy world, smaller governments are as well. Stupidity and corruption seem to be plentiful. This thing is spear headed by Republican officials that cry and whine about big government and government overstepping their bounds. Imagine that if you will. Democracy was once described as 2 wolves and a sheep deciding on whats for dinner, and these wolves want the sheep.
TVA is one of the groups that want to create megasites, never mind they need to work on controlling their waste and perhaps service and prices. Nope, they have expanded... diversified if you will. It seems they are now into Corporation Development sites, but they're more like Land Grabs. One of their partners is our own local governments, IMAGINE THAT. Years ago developing and relocating for multinational corporations were handled by the corporation who wishes to relocate there. Development Corporations and Businesses done that job. Now, we the Taxpayers are footing the bill... especially since no real multinational corporation has asked to come. I guess some idiot(s) must have watched the movie "Field Of Dreams" one too many times. If you build it, they will come, or in their case, steal it. TVA, you have enough problems you need to work on. Go away.
So they put on hold this site but allocated over 400,000.00 to Study IT? Have they lost their freakin mind? That is over 400K of money that roads, schools, hell, for that matter, employees who could get a raise could use. They want 1800 acres of land that connect to the Interstate and Highways, even almost to the lake itself. The Industrial Parks that already exist aren't full, but they want more land? Let me guess, for higher taxes, since a lot of the land is farms. Now we have all these people hungry and the government wants to take 1800 farms, along with homes, develop it, and pray somebody comes. The massive building where Industry once was is empty in many places, many even torn down, and they want more? Some manufacturing areas are leveled and strip malls are being built back. Who is going to afford to shop working for minimum wage? Ahhh Credit Cards, bank loans.... those are almost maxed out now. I really have to wonder at times if those who feel like they are "leaders", they should be representatives of the public, have lost their mind... or gotten greedy.
I would love for people to watch the story of Argentina and their fall a few years ago. I would love for people to read and learn about Germany pre Nazi leading up to their takeover. That is just two examples, Democracy goes hand in had with Communism and Fascism. This should infuriate you and those in office who are pushing this needs to be examined. Any sign of abuse of power or Malfeasance in office, elected or not, needs to be prosecuted. I guarantee someone is pooting under the covers, either that or they are completely insane. Jefferson Count officials that are going along with this, I'm ashamed. To beat it all you are now even considering Right Of Eminent Domain, to which I ask what right? What right do a few have to take away another's property for personal gain? I want to know where in the American Constitution or the Tennessee Constitution you obtain the right for government to develop, let alone force it's citizens to sell.
On the site, which I will link to at the end, I believe they have those guilty of voting for this acid trip plan. I encourage those who voted for it to be voted off the seats, least you lose yours. In the meantime I say vote no to cancel the money allocated to studying it, something that large deserves a vote By The People, after all, it is our money. If you have committed it, it needs to be uncommitted. Meanwhile the people need to check closer into who, where, and how that money is spent and make sure none of those elected will make one red cent off it. If there is even one then it is no longer just a pipe dream but a breach of office duties, which IMHO, already is. Vote these morons out and prosecute and who have crossed the line. You know, that zero tolerance thing back at them. Nobody is above the law, or at least shouldn't be. I've always been proud to be from Jefferson County... until now. Our governments needs a enema.
