Commissioners Clarify Appeals Process

In order to make the appeals process more clear to builders and developers desiring to rezone or develoa property, the Henry County Board of Commissioners moved to update the ordinance on the appealsprocess to provide greater detail and clarity. The action took place at the Boards regular meeting onTuesday.

The updated ordinance makes it clear that the Board of Commissioners shall hear and decide appealswhere it is alleged by the appellant that there is error in any approval, denial, written interpretation, ordecision made by the Zoning Advisory Board (ZAB) or the Planning & Zoning, Building or EnvironmentalCompliance/Plan Review Departments, based on the interpretation or enforcement of the Unified LandDevelopment Code (ULDC). The ordinance also limits those who can file an appeal on such matters tothose who have legal standing in the challenged action.

Those wishing to appeal a decision must file a letter of intent containing the following information alongwith the application for appeal:- Written documentation specifying the alleged errors in the approval, denial, interpretation, or decision

the Zoning Advisory Board or the administrator;- Citation of the section(s) of the ULDC pertaining to the action of the administrator; and- A statement of the specific relief requested by the party appealing.

Such appeals shall be filed with the Planning and Zoning Services Division Secretary. All appeals will thenbe scheduled to be heard by the Henry County Board of Commissioners no later than thirty (30) days frothe date of filing.

A $300 application fee is also required at the time the appeal is filed. This fee, which did not change, iscomparable to other metro counties and is required to help cover staff time for review and researchregarding the appeal, and for advertising the public hearing on the appeal. However, under the revised

ordinance, should the Board of Commissioners overturn the decision of staff or the Zoning Advisory Boarup to 75 percent of the fee would be reimbursable. Applicants would have 30 days from the date of thepublic hearing to request the refund.

Spielbergs LincolnAlec Ryan, American Renaissance, November 23, 2012

Steven Spielbergs latest historical sermon begins with The Bearded One smiling beatifically at two blacUnion soldiers, who recount their exploits at a battle that is a figment of Mr. Spielbergs imagination. Thebolder, more intelligent of the two hectors the President on the pay inequalities between black and whitesoldiers. The scene is interspersed with footage from the mythical battle, in which black Union troopsovercome white Confederates in brutal hand-to-hand combat. A white face is stamped, drowning, into thmud by a booted black man.

This may be all you need to know about the movie.

Two white, hick Union soldiers run up breathlessly and ineptly try to recite Lincolns Gettysburg address the President. They forget how it ends, and the recital is finished by the intelligent, complaining blackprivate as he saunters off into the night. Stupid whites and smart blacks. We get it. We see that in everyTV commercial during basketball timeouts.

It is all downhill from there, as Daniel Day-Lewiss simpering, unbelievable Lincoln is surrounded by saintmisty-eyed, cardboard-cutout blacks, as he battles courageously against the reactionary elements inCongress who would nevergive votes to the Negro. In fact, blacks had been voting in New HampshireMassachusetts, New York, and New Jersey since the Articles of Confederation, and the 15th Amendment

which gave blacks the right to vote, was passed just a few years later, in 1869.

Someone remarks that the Confederates want to take slavery even into South America. The Spanishbrought black slaves to the New World more than 100 years before the first slaves appeared in the Britiscolonies, and slavery wasnt abolished in Cuba until 1886 and Brazil in 1888. But who cares about the restory? Apart from a few enlightened men such as Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens, all whites were rabidracists all too willing to sell out blacks for peace with the South, even when it was in its death throes. MrSpielberg knows that such distortions will slip past uncritical audiences.

The subtext, of course, is that the Union could not have defeated the Confederacy without the valiantefforts of black soldiers. Since the Union was full of vicious racists, they would have left blacks as theywere had Lincoln not listened to urgings of his sanctified black housemaid and other ebony worthies.

In the modern Hollywood narrative, all American history revolves around the Sacred Black Experience.Lincolnconfirms this, bending historical truth to paint the most ruthless, bloody-minded, strong-willedAmerican leader in history as some kind of smug, pre-post-modern storyteller croaking gamely through tdifficulties like a paleface Obama sansteleprompter. The few Southerners are snarling, greasy bigots,recoiling before the erect, scowling black Union guards as they slink by during a meeting that led to theHampton Roads peace conference of February 1865.

No noble Lee, courageous Stonewall or knightly Forrest to see here; but why should we expect that? I wsurprised not to see the Southern delegation accompanied by blond, Afrikaans-speaking advisors fromSouth Africa, along with a few monocled British Empire villains. Another surprise was that General Grantwas not played by Morgan Freeman or that Magic Negro extraordinaire, Samuel L. Jackson.

The film has throughout a sense of hushed awe, as if kowtowing to its own self-evident righteousness.There is no balance, no complexity, no sense of inner struggle or desperation. No opposing arguments. simplistic outlook more closely resembles the popcorn-psychologyAvengersor Justice Leaguerather thathe serious historical movie that it clearly wishes to be acclaimed.

Mr. Day-Lewis radiates pompous self-absorption, and his interpretation jars against my gut-feeling ofLincoln, the rawboned, shrewd backwoods attorneyLincoln, the Illinois rogue so memorably sketched in

Flash for Freedom!by George MacDonald Fraser. Yes, Lincoln is involved in political skullduggery andintrigue, as the three fixers/bribers blunder and cajole their way through improbable situations in an effoto sway the House for the 13th Amendment, but it comes off as silly capering.

There is not the slightest hint, of course, that Lincoln wanted to free the slaves and then send them out the country. No dramatic scenes from August 14, 1862, when Lincoln invited five black preachers to theWhite House and asked them to persuade other blacks to resettle in Central America. No earnestconversations between Lincoln and Rev. James Mitchell, whom he had put in charge of exporting blacks.

All this would make eye-opening cinema, but why let the truth spoil an image of Lincoln as a pioneeregalitarian?

To Mr. Spielbergs credit, the cinematography is superb, as is the period detail. Articulate speeches arealso a welcome respite from the usual lowbrow movie soundbites. Yet the work is let down by the smarmlead performance of Daniel Day-Lewis, as well as the historical inaccuracies and stereotypes, which haveobviously been inserted to foist a politically-correct message onto the audience. And when will we get arealistic, multifaceted black character in a movie, instead of the constant stream of sinless, chocolate-hudemigods? When will the Magic Negro finally be retired? No time soon, judging by this travesty.

An interesting movie about black battlefield valor might be made about the troops who served in GeneraGeorge Crooks Apache campaigns during the 1870s and 1880s. But would we see a black boot tramplinan Apache face?

It is hardly astonishing that Hollywood has turned out yet another movie with an anti-white agenda thistime from the director of the execrable Munich, which also played fast and loose with history in its sordiddepiction of Israels use of a team of bungling amateurs to carry out a series of cold-bloodedassassinations. Mr. Spielberg has, however, accomplished the unthinkable with this one. He has actuallysucceeded in making the Civil War look schmaltzy and one dimensional. The Sacred Black Experience is only history that matters, and the only thing that ever prevented these noble Negroes from attaining theuplifting potential was foaming old white guys with mutton-chops.

As my wife and I left the cinema for the cold night, a pair of young black men swaggered by, baggy pansagging past their buttocks, communicating in barely decipherable ebonic grunts.

We looked at each other with wry smiles and sighed.

Subm it ted: A different v iew on Sen. Rick Jeffares

Some folks believe that an elected public servant has been approved for service in t he elected

position, but that furt her appointm ents to local governm ent are not appropriate. In t he case ofSen. Jeffares we see blog posts and an expose that

See the bio on Rick Jeffares from the Henry County Water Authority Web-page .

Talk about conflict of interest:

Not only is he collecting a salary from the State Government and the County Government, but he also hahis brother who is in a Managerial position at the Water Authority.

In addition, he is the owner of J&T Environmental Services whose clients he assists in the operations anmanagement of water and wastewater treatment plants as well as water distribution and wastewatercollection of systems. This fact might show the most conflict of interest of any of them.

The bio shows that his company works for communities throughout the state of Georgia.

So, the long and short of this is that, outgoing BOC Chairman BJ Mathis, Senator Rick Jeffares andCongressman Lynn Westmoreland have forced the Henry County taxpayers to spend money we do nothave for an airport we did not want. The county LAI D OFF 57 EMPLOYEES and our PROPERTY TAXES JUSTWENT UP AGAIN in order to pay for it. Were losing public safety officers to better paying jobs at an alarmrate and theres still the matter of the $5 million balloon payment we will be required to make in 2017 fothe GOLF COURSE.

At the same time special interest donors who own land around the airport not only stand to profit from t

inevitable development of their properties, but these same elected officials have secured cushy tax breafor them by creating an Opportunity Zone specifically for them.

According to a recently obtained document which outlines plans for a public-private partnership betweensome of these land owners and our local, state, and federal governments, it appears the Henry CountyWater and Sewerage Authority will play significant role as a member of the Bear Creek Alliance. Inaddition to being a State Senator, Rick Jeffares is also A BOARD APPOINTEE to the HCWSA. It would maksense that he likely has a significant role in the coordination of state departments involved in this planincluding, GDOT, DCA, and the Governors office.

Rand Paul (R-KY) Brings It to Clinton

The attack by armed militants that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americanstains Hillary Clinton's legacy as secretary of state.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), told Clinton, I would have relieved you of your post and accused her of failuresof leadership that led to the loss of four U.S. personnel including Ambassador Chris Stephens in the atta

One of the things that disappointed me most about the original 9/11 is that no one was fired. We spentrillions of dollars, but there were a lot of human errors. These are judgment errors and the people who

make judgment errors need to be replaced, fired, and no longer in the position of making these judgmecalls, he said.

He went on, Im glad that youre accepting responsibility. I think that, ultimately, with your leaving, youaccept the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11. And I really mean that.

Had I been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did nread the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post. I think its inexcusab

It was about this time that Clinton began to smirk to herself.

Clinton at one point said that she had not seen requests fromU.S. officials in Libya seeking additional security.

Paul went on saying that perhaps it was excusable that Clintodid not read every cable from Benghazi in the months leadiup to the attack. And while he claimed to not suspect the

Secretary ofbad motives, he said he felt she had been a failure at her job.

By turns emotional and fierce, CLINTON choked up at a congressional hearing as she spoke of comfortingthe victims' families and grew angry when a Republican senator accused the Obama administration ofmisleading the country over whether the Benghazi incident stemmed from a protest.

"Was it because of a prot est or w as it because of guys out for a w alkone night w ho decided they' d go kill some Americans? What differ encat t his point, does it m ake?" she said, making chopping motions with herhands for emphasis.

While clouding Clinton's tenure at the State Department, the controversy over tBenghazi attack also cost Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Natio

her chance to succeed Clinton as secretary of state.Republicans in Congress blasted Rice for her comments five days after the attack in which she said itappeared to be the result of a spontaneous demonstration rather than a planned assault.

Other peoples kids. . . . Oh, how were they raised?

I love Henry County Timesnewspaper. It is truly a hometown publication. Probably my favorite sectionHey Henry because it reveals the minds of our friends and neighbors.

Today's issue, Jan. 23rd, had a Hey Henry asking "How long should Henry Board of Education expectemployees to go without raises - it's going on 7 years."

Hey, how about the taxpayers who support every dime spent by the Henry BoE? We do not get COLA oother raises for the same period of time. We are cash strapped, too.

The post said "employees are getting fed up and finding ways to do less work."

Out here in the real world where we cannot press our employers for raises by whining like children, whea work slow down and bad attitude are grounds for termination, WE ARE FED UP hearing about

government employees who think they are "special."

So stop whining about overworked and underpaid school system employees. With your next paycheck, thankful you got one AND BUY A CLUE.

The key paragraph in the letter is as follows:

We respect the Office of the President of the United States of America. But, make no mistake,as the duly-elected sheriffs of our respective counties; we will enforce the rights guaranteed toour citizens by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon ourconstituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights -- in particular Amendment II -- hasgiven them. We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the

United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditionalinterpretation.

The Utah sheriffs join A GROWI NG LI STof law enforcement agencies in at least a half dozen states thathave indicated they will not enforce any federal law that infringes on the Second Amendment and that afederal official who attempts to enforce such laws will be arrested and jailed.

County sheriff's departments across the country tend to be the law enforcement agency that is closest tothe people, given that most sheriffs are elected by the citizens within their respective counties. But early2012 news reports began to surface indicating that the Obama Administration, working through federallaw enforcement agencies, city and county commissions, and state governments have launched a coverteffort to make the office of the county sheriff obsolete, stripping the elected official of most of hisauthority.

In some areas of the country, such as certain areas of the northeast, such actions have already beentaken.

Could it be t hat t he reason some polit icians w ish t o strip sheriffs of th eir authorit y l iessquarely in th e fact th at m ost of t he resistance to t he current push of t he ObamaAdministrat ion t o concent rate pow er at t he federal level is coming from count y sheriffs?

If the Leftist push of certain large municipalities and the Obama Administration to strip sheriffs of their laenforcement power is successful, then the enemies of the Constitution will have removed the last bastioof resistance among law enforcement agencies.

Nothing will stand in the way of the statists, except for the people themselves, as they embark on thistyrannical push to nullify every right that is protected by the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution.
