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."

Council Members Thoughts on Their #1 Priority for 2008


I asked each Council Member the following question. What do you think is the City Council's #1 priority for 2008? Council President Keith Smith: "Appointment of the Street Department Superintendent. The Street Department has been operating with an interim Superintendent for a period of time. The appointment of the Street Department Superintendent will resolve uncertainty within the department. Oversight of paving contracts are also an important issue to insure the citizens are receiving the best service for thier money in the upkeep of city streets."


Mr. Smith also expressed that teamwork and cooperation between all departments are vitally important. Mr. Smith's biography, http://www.cityofscottsboro.com , go to the Mayor/Council heading and click on the Council members name. The biography area will not link.


I will be listing the answers of the other City Council Members in the next couple of days. Council members are welcome to add their comments.
