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 Trails Poll


In the right column you will find a poll concerning the proposed Scottsboro Trails Program. The question, "Do you support the "Scottsboro Trails" plan submitted to the city council by Mr. Olyneic?" Please feel free to comment on this plan. The Daily Sentinel article on the trails program. http://thedailysentinel.com/story.lasso?ewcd=028453eab00115b9


Mayor Potter and Council President Matthew Hodges have both stated they support the project which is estimated to cost $5 million dollars. Mr. Olyneic has stated the city will have to pay 20% of the total cost. 80% will be acquired from state and federal grants according to Mr. Olyneic.


My apologies, there will be no report for the City Council Work Session last night as I was out of town.
UPDATE- Aug. 10, 2009: Poll results 57% voted yes, 43% voted no. There was a 5% margin of error due to repetitive IP address visits. However, the majority favors a Scottsboro Trail.
