9:46 PM Monday At 8 AM – MORE MONEY FROM YOUR POCKET

HOUSTON COUNTY:   THANKS TO THE REGISTERED VOTERS OF THE CITY OF DOTHAN, NOT THE HOUSTON COUNTY VOTERS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF DOTHAN, a increase in sanitation fees will pass at 10 AM.

The re-elected, the defeated, and the one who did not seek re-election will vote in a price increase on sanitation fees. And if more than one can, some 2,800, will get an additional $ 10.00 per moth over the price increase.

Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe returned to office only because of the registered voters within the city limits of Dothan, not because of the registered voters in the county, outside the city limits of Dothan.

BUT, registered voters in the city limits of Dothan, the $ 220,000.00 a year City Manager of Dothan, Randy Morris, is pushing for a sanitation fee increase for the residents of the City of Dothan. So your time is coming up. Dothan City Manager Randy Morris contract is up for renewal in September, so revenue has to increase in order for him to get more MONEY!!!!

( City Manager $ 220,000.00 a year plus. Alabama Governor $ 130,000.00 a year )

So Dothan residents, since you re-elected Brandon Shoupe, your time on increases are on the way !!!!

9:38 PM WATCH FOR SCHOOL BUSES –

HOUSTON COUNTY AND WIREGRASS:     BE ON WATCH for school buses traveling all around on Monday and this next week. The STOP ARMS mean just that, S T O P !!!!!!

And you are on camera and I have seen the pictures and no disputing them. More important than the ticket is the danger you are to the student and the injuries or death you could cause.

DO NOT get involved in phone conversations where you are not watching or paying attention the buses. SAFETY is more important than any phone call you wight be on.

09:44 AM   Houston County Commission Administrative Meeting – MANDATORY FEES INCREASING FOR RESIDENTS

09:44 AM Houston County Commission Administrative Meeting – MANDATORY FEES INCREASING FOR RESIDENTS

HOUSTON COUNTY:    The Houston County Commission met this past Thursday for their regular scheduled Administrative meeting. Skip to 13:25 when the actual meeting begins.

With no public documentation available to the public, amd without warning the memebers of the Houston County Commission are set to raise sanitation fees on the residents of Houston County.

The Houston County Commission has boasted about being transparent. Look at www.dothan.org and see the Dothan City Commission agenda. All of the documentation with each item on the agenda is provided online. The Houston County Commission provides zero documentation and only a one page agenda.

The citizens need to listen because the current Houston County Commission has Houston County so far upside down they are and will be increasing everything possible.

You will see RSN was mistaken about $ 10 million upside down. It is actually expected $ 13 – $ 14 million upside down for this new budget year.
