FRANKLIN SELLS OUT TO THE DEVELOPERS, AGAIN! SOUND FAMILIAR? NOLENSVILLE???

Click Here

this will be a script that Nolensville will no doubt

follow. Just substitue names and places. The

Franklin Planning commission presented the

Southern Land Corp. all of the plans and work

for completion of Mack Hatcher road, allows

SLC to put their name on them, and then

charges Franklin a cool one Million Dollars.

(Remember SLC has employee on the

Franklin board and the Mayor and others

are long time brokers/realtors, etc. on the

board.)

And so does Nolensville---town attorney

works for Southern Land Corp. doing titles.

Dugger is and has been a realtor the entire

time he has been on the board plus many

more realtor friends involved in local political

affairs. Seems many voters still cannot see

any kind of conflict of interest?? Oh, Well?

"There's nothing like a 800-Gorilla

(Southern Land Corp.) to wield power in

the fair city of Franklin." Nolensville is

probably next on the to do list of SLC.

A very valuable road map for other cities to

follow especially when their Planning Com-

missions don't really know what they are

doing???? Now that you have a program

you can watch for the tell tale signs of our

Planning people doing the same thing?

MEET MR. MAD MURTHA, FORMER MARINE, TOTALLY DISGRACED!

"....this guy is long past the day when he

had anything but the foggiest awareness

of what the heck is going on in the world."

- Brit Hume, Fox News Sunday, 2/18/07

NEW LAW SAYS NO TO NOLENSVILLE CHARGING ANY NEW IMPACT FEES FOR 2007 & BEYOND!

2007 MEANS NO MORE IMPACT FEES CAN BE
CHARGED TO ANY NEW HOME DEVELOPERS
STATE WIDE?????

THEREFORE, NEW HOME DEVELOPERS WILL KEEP
COMING INTO NOLENSVILLE AND NOT PAY ONE DIME
FOR ROAD MAINTAINENCE, INCREASED TRAFFIC,
MORE SCHOOLS..MORE FIREMAN AND MORE POLICE.

TO YOU NEWCOMERS...NOLENSVILLE NEVER HAS
CHARGED ANY IMPACT FEES FOR THE 16 OR MORE
NEW HOME DEVELOPERS NOW BUILDING IN TOWN?

THEREFORE, YOU MIGHT ASK WHERE IS THE MONEY
GOING TO COME FROM TO MAINTAIN THESE NEW
STREETS, HANDLE MORE TRAFFIC AND KEEP UP
WITH FIRE AND POLICE DEPT. DEMANDS?????

WELL WHY NOT EMAIL OUR MAYOR OR THE TOWN
HALL WITH THIS URGENT QUESTION??? ALSO ASK
THE MAYOR ABOUT THE CURRENT BUDGET...IF IT
CAN HANDLE THIS OVERWHELMING GROWTH???

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE IN FRANKLIN KNOW HOW
THEIR MAYOR FEELS ABOUT DEVELOPERS AND
THE UNPLANNED FOR GROWTH IN FRANKLIN.

"Landowners need to realize that if their land is in the
path of growth, it is not tantamount to winning the
lottery. The choice facing them is to lower the price
of their land to a point that the DEVELOPER can
present a plan that meets Franklin’s standards, or let
the land sit until they do." Franklin Mayor Tom Miller.

Franklin resident speaks up...
It is just bizarre that Tom Miller thinks that HE is
the arbiter, not the free market, of land prices! The
price of land will be, ultimately, whatever the market
(the developers) will bear. Tom seems to think that
land pricing should somehow run contrary to the
market-driven philosophy that drives our entire
economy. Tom seems to think that Franklin and
Williamson County are in a special class of land-
owners...they should bend over and just take what-
ever the developers will pay, so that THEIR "...
numbers work". So, developers in the audience...
just what IS that number?? Just how much profit
(i.e. greed) do you have to have to do a deal?? 25%
return? 50%? 100%? 250%? 2,000%? My view:
they ain't makin' dirt any more. It's a valuable, non-
renewable commodity. The landowners should get
every last dime that THEY WANT out of THEIR
DIRT so that THEIR "...numbers work". And if their
price doesn't work for a developer, either another
one will come along WITH the "right number", or
the landowner and/or their heirs, can rightfully
choose to hang onto THEIR DIRT until the cows
come home. (for more story on Franklin see
www.franklinkoolaid.blogspot.com)

IT MAY BE TOO LATE, BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO
ASK OUR NEW MAYOR AND BOARD WHAT IS
THEIR POSITION ON THE FUTURE GROWTH OF
NOLENSVILLE? ALSO ASK THE PLANNING
COMMISSION IF THEY HAVE ANY POSITION AT
ALL??? SINCE IS IT OBVIOUS NOT MUCH HAS
BEEN DOWN TO PROTECT THE TOWN FROM
THIS RAMPANT OVER GROWTH WITHOUT ANY
FUNDS TO SERVICE IT???

IS GOING TO HAPPEN?????

DIMOCRATS MAKE US SO ASHAMED OF THEIR SUPPORT OF OUR TROOPS!

Jack Murtha: Double Talking Idiot

& Screecher of the House Bella Pelosi --

Twins Just Made for Each Other!

Jack Murtha seems to think that he is in charge

of the world. He must feel pretty unstoppable

because he was able to dodge that huge bullet

regarding taking a bribe. Any guy who is on a

film trying to find a way to take $50,000 and

then avoids prosecution while his cohorts get

nailed must feel a little cocky. Being an unin-

dicted co-conspirator must be a badge of honor.

Murtha is hell bent on helping the terrorists win

the war on terror in Iraq. He is drafting legis-

lation that will keep the President from deploy-

ing troops and will place restrictions on what the

President can do. It would appear that ABSCAM

Murtha is trying to usurp the Constitutional

authority that the President has to wage a war

that Congress overwhelmingly approved.

The Bush administration “won’t be able to continue.

They won’t be able to do the deployment. They

won’t have the equipment. They don’t have the

training and they won’t be able to do the work,”

Murtha said in the post on the Democrat-friendly

Web site MoveCongress.org. “This vote will limit

the options of the president and should stop this

surge.”~snip~

“We need to make sure that everybody understands

we’re going to support the troops. We’re going to give

the troops everything they need. We’re not going to ..

make any of them vulnerable,” Murtha said. “But

we’re going to make darn sure that they have what

they need before they go over.”

So what this jackass is saying is that his legislation

will limit the administration’s ability to prosecute the

war. The troops will not have equipment or training

to go into combat. Murtha will also stop more troops

from going to the combat zone. Then, in the next

breath he says that they support the troops and the

troops will have everything they need.

What they need you bloviating criminal are more

people to fight the war. Ideally, we need ten times

what is being sent so we can crush the opposition.

How can this idiot say they will have everything they

need when his bill would, according to his own words,

take away what they need?

Additionally, this moonbat used Move On’s website

to get his message out. What does it say about this

man that he used an anti American organization’s

website to get his message out?

This is pure double talk and smacks of Bush Derange-

ment Syndrome. Murtha will do whatever he can to

hurt President Bush regardless of how it affects our

troops.

Murtha is a disgrace to this country and the way he

is using our military as pawns in the game of Presi-

dential chess is nothing short of treason. In earlier

times he would have been taken out back and

hanged.

There is another classic line from ABSCAM Jack:
The Pennsylvania Democrat added that he is also

considering language in the legislation that would close

the military prisons at Guantanamo Bay and Abu

Ghraib, and the bill might include a provision requir-

ing the president to get approval from Congress

before taking any military action against Iran.

Murtha will close down two prisons in order to protect

the poor terrorist bastards that want to kill us while

screwing the brave men and women of our armed

forces.

This guy is truly worthless and should have been voted

out of office. The people in Pennsylvania should really

feel proud right about now. Interestingly, his legislation

will require the President to get Congressional approval

before any military action against Iran

.

Screecher of the House Bella Pelosi has already

stated that the President does not have the authority

to use the military against Iran without Congressional

approval. If this is the case, why do we need that

legislation?

The ace in the hole here is that any bill that they want

to make a law has to be signed by the very president

they are trying to screw. If George Bush does not veto

any such bill that hits his desk I would have to question

whether or not he has lost his mind.

MEET CAROL LIEBAU BLOGGER EXTRAORDINAIRE! WRITES GOOD, TOO!

The Duped Democrats
Richard Cohen makes a fair point:

So I do not condemn Clinton and other Democratic
presidential candidates -- Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and
John Edwards -- for voting for the war because I
would have done the same. I fault them, though, for
passing the blame to Bush as the guy who misled
them.

In hindsight, of course, everyone conveniently sees
reasons -- which were apparent to no intelligence
agency on earth at the time -- to question whether
Saddam actually had WMD. But by arguing that,
as senators, they were simply duped by a fiendishly
deceptive, manipulative president (and haven't we
been told all these years that the President is dumb
and inarticulate?), the senators named above
disqualify themselves for higher office.

After all, it doesn't work that way. What are they
going to tell us in a few years: Sorry, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad fooled us into thinking that he didn't
have nuclear weapons. Oops, looks like Kim Jung Il
went ahead and developed nukes even when he
promised he wouldn't (come to think of it, that's
happened to one Clinton Administration already).

Hillary Clinton deserves special blame for taking
this tack. Her husband, too, believed that Saddam
had WMD. She took a tough stance on the war not
only for that reason, but because she knew it was
necessary to be taken seriously as a female
presidential candidate.And it doesn't speak well
either for her intelligence or integrity when she
claims that another man just took shameless
advantage of her little 'ole trusting self.

Have You Heard the News? Our new Mayor Quietly Told the "G-Man" Stop Messin' With the BOMA Minutes!

People who know our new mayor, say
she welcomes a "diversity of opinion"...
and that is a good thing. Very few in
public office like to answer questions
and most find a way to not answer
those hard questions.

Seems she has quickly caught on to the
g-man's ploy about capturing the minutes
to every BOMA meeting.The town hall
doesn't need his help in keeping records
of the minutes...much less interpreting
them via his own special flavor of the
month. KUDOS TO OUR MAYOR!!!!
Now why not take a look at the job that
our current webmaster is doing
for the town hall website...especially
the seven thousand dollars to maintain
the site?

Mayor why not use the town website to
communicate with everybody...about
what is happening? 16 or more new
developments are full and over-flowing
with computers and people who know
how to use them.

How many readers of the blog would
read the town website with a new and
frequent message from the mayor?

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI GOT HER PLANE TO FLY HOME TO CALIFORNIA!

Sorry...just cannot resist sharing

this story about our new speaker of the

house throwing a tantrum over why she

must have a private military aircraft to fly

back and forth "non-stop" between Wash-

ington D.C. and SanFrancisco. This will

cost you the taxpayers $22,000 one

way or 15 million dollars per year! Is it

any wonder why politicans on the national

and local level are held in such low esteem.

Why can't she fly in a commercial jet pack-

edin with the masses...and get to know the

voters?Remember this when you pay your

taxes on April 15th.

CHEMICAL LEVELS RISE IN FRANKLIN'S LIBERTY CREEK FLOWING INTO HARPETH RIVER DRINKING WATER???

Read today's Tennessean article about how

Franklin's Liberty Creek pollution keeps

rising and nobody knows what to do about

it??? CLICK HERE. Today's paper article.

Paint thinner chemicals are not what one

wants to find in their water supply. Where's

the outrage? When will the State shut down

this serious hazard to the 42,000 or more

people on this system???

Bottled water sales must be skyrocketing in

Franklin.?

Some say it is above or maybe below

where Franklin sucks the water out of

the Harpeth River? Who do you believe?

Why is it always so slow and complicated

to get "politicans" to act on anything????

Yes, Franklin's water problem is their prob-

lem. But please don't mention our Mill Creek

problem. Just hush up and maybe it will go

away. What problem you ask? Well you can

bet most people won't want to talk about it.

It has been that way for so long let's not

worry about. Besides don't rock the boat.

Politicans don't like people who start ask-

ing questions.Who knows what lurks in the

muddy waters of our Mill Creek? Seems

stuff is seeping into the creek, but from

where and what is it?

Tell us what you think is floating down

the creek?

SURPRISE? CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE STILL EMBEDDED IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY GOVERNMENTS!

Future Real Estate Office of our former interim mayor and

newly elected alderman. This was the Marusa family home

that was finally sold by Mr. Dugger as a real estate agent

to Ken Kelley Real Estate. Kelley quickly got the property

rezoned commercial courtesy of our former interim mayor.

Now Dugger is moving in his new real estate offices thanks

to Ken Kelley Realtor. Opps, forgot to mention the realtor

fee paid to Dugger while serving as interim mayor based

on some $300,000 as the final selling price. Very nice and

tight working realtionship...no conflict of interest here?

Franklin and many other cities in the county are afflicted

with the same or much worse conflicts of interest here's

a recent post in the FranklinKoolAid Blog.

Tell Us Something We Don't Know.
Conflict issues common on local boards Ethics

filings show elected officials' own stake in votes

By Jessica Fender and Sheila Wissner,

Staff Writers
In pertinent part:
At least 18 elected officials in Davidson and

three of Middle Tennessee's fastest-growing

counties -Williamson, Rutherford and Sumner

have development or real estate interests, a

Tennessean review of hundreds of ethics dis-

closure shows.

The Thompson's Station mayor ushered in a

controversial sewer-system deal that benefits his

housing development.

A Sumner County commissioner approved a

high-end sub-division just months before he

bought into it.

And Franklin's mayor has faced criticism from

those who say his votes favor companies con-

nected to the major developer who signs his

paycheck. More builders-, developers- and real

estate speculators-turned-politicians

are likely as the suburban counties continue to

expand, said Vanderbilt law professor Stefanie

Lindquist, who has taught ethics in politics.

Those people seek leadership roles because they

have a lot at stake in the political process, she said.

"It has a stink to it. It looks like a small group of

people are benefiting," said Lindquist ,Vanderbilt

Law Professor.

Vicious Circle:
Franklin Mayor Tom Miller works for developer

The Parks Group .Competing companies have

accused Miller of forcing them to improve a road

that would benefit a subdivision developed

by The Parks Group's sister company, which also

employs Miller's wife. Miller has said he doesn't

see a conflict of interest because he didn't gain

personally. (Goes pretty deep!)

Worst part of the whole mess is that voters cont-

inue to re-elect these people to office. When will

voters ever learnhow much this reflects on each

local town government?

Tell us how you all feel about this good ole' boy

system?

WHAT DO THESE TWO WATERWAYS HAVE IN COMMON? NOLENSVILLE'S MILL CREEK AND FRANKLIN'S HARPETH RIVER?

BOTH ARE "POLLUTED"! BUT THE GOOD

NEWS IS NOLENSVILLE DOESN'T HAVE

THEIR DRINKING WATER FROM THE

HARPETH RIVER. UGH?????

ON THE OTHER HAND, EVER WONDER

BLAST AWAY!!! DESPITE NOLEN PARK RESIDENTS' COMPLAINTS BLASTING TO CONTINUE!

Hello! Nolen Park People! No state violations
of blasting were found by State Fire Marshal
and ATF investigation. It appears your comp-
laints have been filed in the "round" file
secure and away from your eyes.

Surprised? Not! State Law allows blasting non-
stop in Nolensville 7 am to 7pm! No need to fret
law requires contractor to blow his horn 9 times
before the blast and once after the blast.

Why after the blast you ask?

Well the contractor is supposed to examine the
blast site for unexploded dynamite and then sound
the all-clear.

Do they do this site exam? Who knows?

According to state officers assigned to check out
contractors NO! They had the same problem with
Bent Creek where it appears too many times the
all clear never happened? Too many times bull-
dozers drive over explosives still in the ground
blowing them sky high!

Mayor has met with the "blasters" and they have
agreed on rock-solid stuff...like study potential
adoptions. Research tenative enforcements(over
coffee) in future on-site pre-construction meetings.
Also lobby State Legislators for more controls some-
where over the rainbow?

How's that for speedy solutions? Sleep tight Nolen
Park your Mayor has met the "blasters" head-on!
No more airborne rocks flying over-head until Monday
when blasting starts all over again.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW...TILL NEW MAYOR & BOARD BILL YOU FOR A HEFTY TOWN PROPERTY TAX!

New Budget figures show town budget for street

and road maintenance is 188% OVER BUDGET!

Town has spent $236,000 year-to-date trying to

service all the old and NEW STREETS. Wanna

guess how much more OVER BUDGET town will

be come spring time?

How much money going down the ole drain hole?

Well look at 369% OVER BUDGET in Professional

services? And 136% OVER BUDGET IN Architect-

ural & Engineering services? Is this where the new

Design/Review bobble is paid for? With more time

and budget records we will report on the rest of the

budget story.

CLICK HERE...for Tennessean article on Property

Taxes headed our way. NEW TOWN property taxes

for both old and new residents. Sorry about that!

Our town hall leaders approved one new housing

development after another without the funds to

service them. Thanks to their lack of responsibility

everybody gets to PAY!

Yes...our new mayor and new/old vice-mayor will

no doubt DENY THAT A NEW PROPERTY TAX

IS ON THE WAY! Do not believe it! When is the

last time you could believe a POLITICAN?

Not unlike lawyers how can you tell if they indeed

are "fibbing?" If their lips are moving they are!

The State legislature has opened all of Tennessee

to the biggest land grab in the history of the State.

NO MORE IMPACT FEES means housing deve-

lopers and realtors have a totally free and clear

path ahead. No more charges to help fund the

schools, road maintenance, fire and police

departments.

Just like Nolensville, most smaller towns in all of the

95 counties don't have professionals in office to deal

with developers and realtors. In fact, just like Nolens-

ville many towns have realtors and developers on the

board. Bottom line...towns are held hostage to these

lobby groups i.e. realtors/developers.
