One is that I am the original Liberty. Any postings made after 3/21 are not mine. I have been without access for almost a month. Second, I too feel for the builders. But, I want to make clear that the variances that are coming before the planning commision are due to buildings being built that were NOT what the planning commision approved. There is a break down between the PC and public works. I don't know what the problem or answers are but would like to know and soon! I have two points to make. One is that I am the original Liberty.

It appears that all of our commissioners have finally filed their disclosures. Now the question is...are the disclosures complete and do they really include all sources of income. I know at least one that doesn't. Can you guess which one? Thank you common sense.

The operative word in those bills is "Purchase". Back here in Ray-Ray land...I mean Mt. Juliet, they like to do some horse tradin' from time to time. If you will remember, Ray wasn't trying to purchase that land as much as he was trying to purchase the Old MJES site and then "Trade" those twelve prime acres in the heart of Mt. Juliet for the "10% grade sports field park" up on York Road. Senator Beavers/Congresswoman Lynn, I appreciate your help in trying to hem in the Mt. Juliet commission so that they do the least harm possible, but you have to get up pretty early in the morning 'round here, every morning, if you are going to keep out in front of them. I bet they stay up all night thinking of ways to put the screws to the citizens of this city, and I say that because there just isn't enough time in a normal workday for them to mess things up this bad. The best way to write something so that it would keep this commission from doing something outlandishly stupid would be to ask the most low-down, sneakiest, most unethical person you can find how he would get around your bill and then close the holes he points out to you...Ahem....I mean that you should find the second to the most low-down, sneakiest, most unethical person you can find...you can't use the most low-down, sneakiest, most unethical person because he isn't available, he has a personal interest in the outcome and wouldn't tell you the truth. Anyway, I sure do appreciate it that you members of congress are trying to help us here in Mt. Juliet. Probably the best thing that could happen here is to surrender the city charter and start fresh...it seems like it will be the only way to cut out the cancer. Good luck with your bill.

Juliet Commission considered buying property at the end of York Road for 2.5 million dollars? The 10 percent grade sports field park? I wonder if that prompted our state elected officials to propose this bill? - <blockquote><strong>Independent Appraisal Prior to Purchasing Real Property</strong>: SB 3363/ HB 3306 (Beavers/ Lynn), as amended, requires a municipality to obtain an independent appraisal of the fair market value of real property prior to purchasing or entering into a contract for the purchase of real property.</blockquote> I hope it passes!

Stall tactic, and nothing more. It would have been public information if it had gone that far, but the city just backed out of the date for next week saying they need more time.
