Welcome

I have created this blog to discuss the events in and around Scottsboro and Jackson County Alabama. Feel free to comment as it would certainly be a dull world if we all agreed. Please refrain from using profanity and act responsibly within. Please, "watch for snakes."

THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY

"I can say with confidence that the federal government needs a major overhaul. Don’t get me wrong, most public servants in government are highly educated and dedicated professionals who are committed to “the greater good.” At the same time, the government has become a bloated bureaucracy that is based on past conditions and in too many cases, federal programs and policies can’t demonstrate that they are generating real results that benefit the American people."
