Well I hope the deckard and city council are reading this, they find out what we really think of them, if they were paying attention at the last meeting they should already know.Deckard just out to get as munch money as possible, holloway reminds me of a little weasel, the mayor is pulling the wool over their eyes, and the council will take the blame while deckard and holloway ride off into the sunset with all the money while the council are left wondering what just happen, and we the tax payers are left with all the debt, if you are reading this please wake up, and see you have sold a pack of lies, all they want is our money, we will not get any city services that would cost millions of dollars to install, the city is broke., wake up and see deckard for the crook he is, you know what they say about wolf in sheep's clothing, we don't want in the city,we want nothing from you , except to leave us along, its not our fault the city's broke, we had no part of that, its time to realize you cannot spend what you don't have, i live on a budget, i don't buy things i cant afford, when the government figures this out we will all be better off

Danny,

While your guess is way off base, I hold no political status. It doesn't take an educated person to decipher your bitterness towards the city and its administration. As a proud member of the community, I take offense to your comments! You have nothing good to say of anyone, always negative. Your posts are littered with complete distortion of the facts. Your slander of our city is detestable! I tend to thinker no matter the situation you are going to find fault. I may not agree on everything that happens in our city, but it is much easier to work together to accomplish the necessities for our community.

Ron, i wish you would leave grandview heights along. what about all the places that already have water and sewer?i thank we can all agree that the people of washington township don't want annexed , no matter how close or how far they are from the city or little or how much land they have, the state took my families property to build lake monroe, they settled
that land in the early 1800's, and the government took it, my great grandpa's are buried on state property, i have to hike four miles though the woods to see them , that is if i can find it ,it is unmarked, their are cemeteries under the lake, they moved,how do you move 100 year old remains? the lake is beautiful, but at what cost to others, i'm afraid the city has a hidden agenda we know nothing about, i might live in grandview , but i don't want anyone taking my property, i love my home just as much as you do yours, you like to talk about cades cove, i thought i would share my story with you, its a lot closer to home.

To: Nobodyimportant; I appreciate your comments and certainly did not make a threat to Mr. Danny Stewart, as he indicated. But, he has his right to do as he sees fit; however, if I'm ever so intimated by the likes of him to feel the need of making a threat, he'll certainly know the difference. I agree with your thoughts of trying to stay civil on such matters and working together to obtain the best results, realizing that everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions.

To: Ron Schoolcraft; I also appreciate your comments and, as I told you at the "Public Meeting"...I, too, have mixed emotions on the subject of annexation and, along with the councilmen, have been giving it a lot of thought. I have thoroughly investigated both sides of the argument...and, I see some of the pros and cons for each side and certainly agree to disagree on the matter. Again, I do not have a vote in the matter nor am I trying to influence council members one way or another; however, I must look at it as what's best for Martinsville in the end result, overall.
