These are all pertinent questions that should be answered by the GAA for Gadsden and Etowah County residents and taxpayers, especially the latter because they have no idea how their hard-earned dollars are being appropriated.

The new mayor must be a visionary, a person who sees things as they should be and not as they are.

Two local governments, two common constituencies, different results. Could the difference possibly be leadership?

One of the greatest democracies in history is in the first throes of catastrophic collapse. Maybe not next year, maybe not in the next 10 years, but the destructive forces are building.
