Streetwaste is a more fitting name for these "Streetscape" projects.

gababy, glad you dig the name.

I'm saying that the ELECTED board members don't make jack.

I did look it up. I am very familiar with the site. My salary is also posted there.

Superintendents and personnel make the $$$$

For instance, the supe at a system just to our south was reimbursed over EIGHT THOUSAND dollars in travel expenses last year(he makes over $130k).

Look at the payments to the ELECTED Polk BOE members...small change.

Williams=big$$$ elected=small cheese.

bootman4er your rant is a bit OT (off topic) but I agree about the local court system. In a recent article they seemed to be proud that so many plead guilty. I just wonder how many of those may have been innocent or had extenuating circumstances? How many were goaded?

Also, I've been a registered voter for decades but have NEVER been called for jury duty. Researched to find why and the only reason that I could find was that I was not a local church member. Yet the law states that a jury pool will be a representative cross section of the county, it's not.

Where is the Lottery money? I remember when the lottery was voted in it was meant to fund the schools. The lottery is not hurting. Where is the education funding???

If we all don't put a stop to the greedy corrupt elected and appointed trash that run our government we are all going to fail. They are very well paid to do a job and they either do a sorry job or they are bribed to not do the job. There is not a county court house in the state of Georgia that is not full of corruption. From the judges to the clerks and lawyers, justice is bought by the lawyer who has the judge in his pocket. The elderly man who crashed his pickup into the law office in Dalton last year was not mean or crazy. He was being crapped on by corrupt lawyers and corrupt superior court judges stealing his property for money and was forced to do all he could. It is a shame he didn't kill the whole lot of them. The Founding Fathers that wrote the Constitution were honest and good people. That set everything up around honesty and integrity. They never imagined those that followed them would or could be liars and thieves. The system depends on honesty which is NO LONGER present. We as Americans better wake up and take our country back. These crooks are destroying America.

BOE - isn't that the elected Board of Education?

Aren't the people like Mr. Williams a part of the Polk School District (PSD)?

The PSD is probably broken down into administrative, classroom instructors, staff, etc and those are the people who are paid "the big bucks" as some people describe their salaries. I don't feel like School System employees are paid too much and I'm beginning to think that educators and former educators comprise too much of the School Board and that is a real change for me. My thinking now is that we need people interested in educating our children and not doing things just the way they always want(ed) to do them from an insiders point of view.
