Those diplomas don't amount to squat.
Maybe not, but getting a diploma that doesn't amount to squat still comes out in front of those that don't do squat, much less required training.
Funny how quick the negative shot was on this story. I guess for vermin and combover, can't miss a chance.
Actually this was a big moment in both of their lives so don't spoil it. Just be glad you have a real life!
Does the course offer Ethics training? They desperately need an ethics course.
This is all they have going in their life so just let them enjoy it!
"more effective city officials" Pushing a $7M government center so that they could help their friend JT out of foreclosure? How about recognizing the council members that asked for the needs analysis for a project that almost made it through before he went into foreclosure? Hopefully they will continue their government training on the proper RFP process that guides most well run organizations.
Isn't the RFP process required by law?
I smell a recall.
Yes it is required by law and I am sure once the city council is ready to move forward they will follow the correct proceedures.
of course, as they are relieved that no one picked up on the timing of JT's foreclosure, questioned the private investors and thought it odd for a $7M project not be put out to bid. I am sure they will follow the correct protocol now. That was a close one. Good thing the Herald never looks into this stuff.
The RFP has never even gone out yet, dufuss! J T did not even get a chance to give a proposal on it. Forunately for you maybe the only place now that city hall can. Be located is on HWY 9. Maybe they can just convert an ugly strip center then you can be happy.

Wasn't Adams' presentation to council in early September?

John T. Adams, a self-described lover of American history, envisioned retail destinations from bygone eras.
The developer of two suburban Atlanta retail centers, Crabapple Mercantile Exchange in Milton and Ellard Village in Alpharetta, paid attention to the little details. Wrought-iron fences, wooden overhangs, historic-looking brick facades.
But recently, both of his elegant projects were repossessed by his bank, Flagstar of Troy, Mich.
I am sure Bill and Karen would never consider putting our city at risk just to help out a friend.
They probably wouldn't sink to Jezebel's level.
They make a cute couple.
The city has not sent out an RFP, either before September or after. JT, Adam Orkin or anyone else for that matter has not made a proposal. JT's bank issue dosent have anything to do with the city.
Alan Tart had a presentation on a library site and pushed it through an email, but I dont see you picking up on that?
It makes me a little sick to my stomach thinking about those two doing the nasty. Does anyone else feel that way?
Poster 5:37, how is that comment even related to this thread? How do we know that you would be worse?
They needed training, however, no amount of training can improve one's personality or personal agendas. Bummer.
Or personal hygiene habbits.

To poster 7:20, how do you know if I was worse? Consider the obvious, when you mix "Fat and Ugly" it just dosent have good consequences!
