So what? My job. When I get home at 6 or 8 pm.
What about fire fighters and EMTs? Not at Ritz Park.
I talk to Sheriff and Police Chief. Fire fighters and EMTs only. Not law enforcement. Emergency personnel will be at the Barnesville fire department or ritz park. Save a life.
Just do whatever you can to participate. I work until 5:30 and then have a class from 7-8. At the very least I can lock the doors and leave my porch light on.
This is a symbolic show of solidarity, not a mandatory function that you will get a grade on.
Jeepers, people.....
When is the city gonna start writing citations to who ever owns the lot across and down from the police station. It, in more ways that one, looks like a freakin jungle over there. I thought that the city will cut it then charge the owner a fee for it. If they dont pay then issue a warrant for them. This place is falling apart and its mostly the city and county that needs to be held accountable. The owners will only do so much and then you have to enforce stuff beyond that. There are so many areas around that needs to be cut, bush hogged, and weed eated. Most of them are the county or city responsiblity. Lets get more inmate labor going if its such a short staff thing. There are tons of things that need to be improved at the recreation department also. They DO have inmate labor over there. Get more inmates. They have to be fed daily anyway. Might as well put them to work and give back to society.
