JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Scottsboro City Council - Remembering Buddy

In January 2008 I asked this question of Buddy, "What is your #1 priority for 2008?" This was Buddy's reply,"There are several issues which are priorities. We must get our spending under control, oversight of the departments are important. All city employees must work and pull together, particularly in the Mayors absence. The city's employees and officials must be united to accomplish the peoples business."

Buddy Simmons served the citizens of Scottsboro as a Fireman, retiring as a Captain after 28 years of service. Buddy continued his service to the citizens of Scottsboro as a City Councilman, 2004-2008. Buddy has responded to that final call which we all must make. But not all can say they served the citizens of Scottsboro in such a distinguished manner as Buddy Simmons

"A memorial service will be held for Simmons Thursday, at 3 p.m., at Scottsboro Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Cedar Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Jackson County Christmas Charities in care of Jackson County Department of Human Resources, 205 Liberty Lane, Scottsboro, Al. 35769."
