I am sure she is mad that anyone from her district (even worse from Crook Creek) running against her and may take that out on CC since Longoria is from there. <br /><br />She still should support CC and everyone else in the city should as well and here is why; <br /><br />How does gating CC benefit the whole community? <br /><br />Gating Crooked Creek would reduce the amount of tax money the city spends for crooked creek roads and would allow that money be used elsewhere in the city. <br /><br />The city can't afford to do much road work anywhere now so why is it bad to save some money for other much needed areas?<br /><br /><br />It would also raise property values in Crooked Creek. Is that a bad thing for Milton?<br /><br />Raising property values in crooked creek would raise property values for the entire area. That is how property values work. <br /><br />It would in turn raise tax revenues for the City of Milton. (more money to spend on the rest of us) <br /><br /><br />The entire city wins. More money for the city, higher property values for the city and safer roads for crooked creek residents.<br /><br />WHY IS THAT BAD? <br /><br />Who loses?<br /><br />Only the people in Cherokee and Forsyth Counties who cut through to get home a few minutes faster?<br /><br />How does this hurt JZB and the other melon heads who think this is a bad idea? <br /><br />This is just one more issue that makes Milton Politicians look like fools.<br /><br />Let them GATE you fools! We need the money!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-53617535891231280752009-10-10T18:59:37.736-07:002009-10-10T18:59:37.736-07:00The only reason why Milton residents "cut thr...The only reason why Milton residents "cut through" Crooked Creek at peak hours is because Hopewell Road gets TOTALLY backed up at Francis Road.

I was curious about the diatribe also, and know for a fact Obrien wasn't there, he was out of state on a trip Saturday. <br />Maybe it is a diversion, but that story doesn't fact check. Word is he hasn't even met Tina's opponent, so he probably doesn't support him. As for Mohrig, maybe he just went because he is still active in Hwy 9 stuff. Ask him. <br />Maybe people should focus on issues and record this time instead of making stuff up.

They could have reported what was said, such as the reason Longoria is running is to get those gates, they will get the gates, and have their very own council person representing their very own subdivision. Jason Wright wrote last year that Crooked Creek wanted the City to spend $600,000 of our tax dollars to improve the roads, then gate it off and close it publically. <br /><br />Neal O'Brien (previous council member), he was there along with Rick Mohrig as well. Nice to see the ole boys come out of hiding to try and get someone back on council, since they were ousted by the people of Milton. Do we want this same old stuff again. If Bill and Karen and now Neal O'Brien and Rick Mohrig are supporting Longoria, wouldn't putting Longoria on council be a mistake not worth repeating, which is why O'Brien and Mohrig were ousted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-71626945163875121682009-10-03T17:07:05.944-07:002009-10-03T17:07:05.944-07:00Just what Milton needs, another candidate running ...Just what Milton needs, another candidate running with a one issue platform.
