You can always tell when someone is on the wrong side of an issue when he or she resorts to name calling and defensive statements. Such is the recent case of David Hooks, director of the Gadsden-Etowah Industrial Development Authority in response to Gadsden City Council member Thomas Worthy’s comments during last week’s council meeting.
Worthy spoke of Rep. Robert Aderholt’s letter to the Federal Aviation Administration, asking the agency to consider the opposition to a proposed Pilgrim’s Pride rendering plant on Gadsden Airport Authority property, when making any decision on allowing the project to proceed.
