HENRY COUNTY: 07:12 AM Incumbent Alabama State Representative Rick Rehm and Henry County Sheriff Eric Blankenship held a press conference on Monday at the new Henry County Sheriff Training Center.
When Camp Sayla closed Henry County Sheriff Eric Blankenship received approval from the Henry County Commission for the Sheriff Department to use Camp Sayla for a new Training Center.
In recent training events Representative Rick Rehm has attended training events held at the Training Center. Representative Rick Rehm participated in some of the training event and even used a ramming device busting in a door.
Representative Rehm, realizing the need for a in county training center worked with the local legislative delegation and obtained $ 250,000.00 to help fix up the training center.
Members of the Henry County Commission and most of the deputies were in attendance for the presentation.
NOTE: WTVY was present for the event and intentionally left off Representative Rick Rehm’s name from the article. That is apparently because one of their largest advertisers is supporting Rick Rehm’s opponent. But the event was held as an “official check presentation”. So Ken Curtis, as News Director of WTVY, apparently is not accurately covering the news. The RSN video is UNEDITED.

Staind, along with Buck Cherry and Sleep Theory, packed the Dothan Civic Center out on a Sunday night! Clay and his team have knocked another one out of the park, proving that Dothan can, and will, show up for good entertainment. He and his team always strive to provide great entertainment along with great experiences while visiting our city for shows. People travel from throughout the tri-state area for good music, and an experience they have never felt before. The director really takes to heart, the experience of every person in that building. It is going to be amazing to see what he can do when the city builds the new arena on the outdated and under spaced arena that is currently there. Dothan wake up, not only or we a healthcare provider, we are the new stop point of entertainment in route to greener pastures in Florida. Fund the arena in downtown dothan, kick the road diet to the curb, it will take two lanes on each side of the road to fill those seats.
DOTHAN: Unrest in the Roy Driggers Municipal Building, AKA Dothan Civic Center, between Dothan Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba, D5 Gantt Pierce, D6 David Crutchfield and D1 Vivian Daniels, D2 Phillipe Kirksey, D3 Bradley Bedwell, and D4 Dave Stock whether to MOVE BACK TO the FOUR LANE or keep the road diet or aka downtown traffic jam that is in front of the dothan civic center. Commissioners 1-4 have heard your complaints, observed and on a secret polling by City manager Randy Morris, voted to have this returned to 4 lane. D5 Gantt Pearce and D6 David , and mayor voted with the downtown Friday coffee club.
The unrest comes from the “road diet” of East Main Street, from Oates Street to Museum Street. The City of Dothan turned the three blocks into a two lane road. ALDOT ( Alabama Department of Transportation ) has moved equipment in to begin repaving of Main Street. It seems four Dothan Commissioners, which is the majority of the commission, has made it clear they want the road returned to four lanes. However, Dothan City Manager Randy Morris has told the Mayor and Commissioners that ALDOT is not giving an “official” recommendation on the road diet. He then tells ALDOT has decided for him to move forward with the road diet and the resurfacing of Main Street. That If ALDOT determines during the evaluation period that the four lane is preferred that ALDOT will do a fill project with the City of Dothan sharing in the cost. Although Randy told commissioners they would have the final say on the road diet, when the coffee club didn’t get their way, he blames it on AlDot.
Some Commissioners are calling for a special called meeting of the Dothan Commission. When the controversy, Friday, both Dothan City Manager Randy Morris and Dothan City Clerk were off. Some commissioners are calling for an emergency meeting before ALDOT begins repaving. It appears the majority of the Commission are upset and what is happening is not what they were told at the beginning of this “road diet”. The upset members of the commissions feel they are elected to represent the citizens of Dothan and the information provided has not been totally truthful.
The project is in District 1 Vivian Daniels and D2 Phillipe Kirksey districts. And it appears both Daniels and Kirksey want the roadway returned to four lane along with D3 Bedwell and D4 Stock. And it appears the data collected is from observing that traffic via cameras and not any in person study.
Overall Stability of the State – Per Dothan Study Report Prepared By The City of Dothan
US-84 is classified as a principal arterial (other) highway. It is a major corridor in the state that runs east/west from the Mississippi state line to the Georgia state line. This project impacts overall stability to the State because it is a State/US route that connects to multiple State and US routes and cities. It connects to SR-123 in Wicksburg, SR-85 in Daleville, SR-167 and SR-27 in
Enterprise, SR-125 in Elba, US-331 and SR-134 in Opp, US-29 in Andalusia, US-31 in Evergreen,
SR-41 in Repton, SR-21 near Monroeville, US-43 in Grove Hill, SR-69 in Coffeeville, SR-17 in Silas,
and SR-95 near Alaga to name a few. Regional traffic passing through Dothan may look for alternate routes if this area is known to be congested. This project addresses congestion and safety among other things ultimately making this route and the overall State system more stable. The safer the roads that are connected to the State-maintained system, the more stable the State system becomes as a whole.
Improvements to the US-84 corridor in Dothan, AL have been needed for quite
some time; however, funding has not been available. The ATRIP-II funding provides a great
opportunity to improve this important roadway and provide a benefit to the citizens of Dothan
and citizens statewide traveling through Dothan.
U.S. Route 84 Explained
The section from Brunswick, Georgia, to Roscoe, Texas, has been designated by five state legislatures as part of the El Camino East–West Corridor. The designation was in recognition of its history as a migration route from the Atlantic coast to the present Mexican border, one of the routes that Spanish settlers called El Camino Real. (In Louisiana, the route was called the Harrisonburg Road.) The designation is intended to promote the route for both tourism and NAFTA-facilitated trade with Mexico.[3][4] States are asking for federal funds to widen the US 84 El Camino East–West Corridor.
In Alabama, US 84 is paired with unsigned State Route 12 (SR 12). Parts of the route have been widened in recent years to four-lane status. The most significant exist from River Falls eastward to Andalusia, near Opp where a recent bypass of the downtown area now carries US 84 in a southern arc around the town, and from Enterprise eastward thru Daleville and on to the Dothan area and then the Georgia state line at the Chattahoochee River in Saffold.
US 84 has brief stretches concurrent with other US Highways in Alabama. US 84 shares a routing with US 31 from just southwest of Evergreen to a few miles east of town. It briefly shares a routing with US 29 in the city of Andalusia. It also shares a routing with US 331 near Opp. At Dothan, US 84 shares a concurrency with US 231 and US 431 on the Ross Clark Circle which is the circular bypass of downtown.
US 84 crosses three major navigable waterways in Alabama. They are the Tombigbee River at Coffeeville, the Alabama River at Claiborne, and the Chattahoochee River at the Alabama–Georgia state line. US 84 passes through Enterprise and Daleville which are both very near Fort Novosel which is the United States Army‘s helicopter training school. Most of US 84 in Alabama traverses the Gulf Coastal Plain which is relatively lowlying land with some sand content. The area is heavily agricultural with little heavy industry. Dothan is the largest city in Alabama traversed by US 84 and it is the business and agricultural center of Southeast Alabama. The area is commonly referred to as the Wiregrass Region.
RSN
From Bainbridge Georgia to Andalusia, I know, is four laned. In a big deal that was presented, was the four lane construction of Highway 84 and a major economic impact for Dothan – Houston County. It is now four laned, except for the three blocks the Dothan City Manager and others have turned into a two lane road. Which directly conflicts with all of the talk on the major corridor.
The elected feel this is not the decision of the Dothan City Manager.
TODAY, there is NO peace and harmony within the Dothan City Manager, Dothan Mayor and members of the Dothan City Commission.
It only takes 4 votes – 4 votes for things – 4 votes for people – to be changed !!!
