drainage projects and school maintenance I understand, the rest I wonder 'why now?'

I believe it's time for the City of Decatur to adopt a "pay as you go financial system". No borrowing period, except for emergencies!!! Save money for needed projects and spend it wisely on basic city needs first. For Decatur to be financially stable, "Borrow No More" should be the City Council's moto.

You have to be kidding. When will Reeves stop. Most of that list can wait. We do not need to borrow anymore money Reeves. And raising my water bill is not a option either. You have already had a bright idea of city employees work for no pay for a day or two. I guess he has more family members that need work and he is getting jobs for them.

This guy and his accomplice Stafford, does not know when to stop! They both should have been booted during the Busbey bonanza, but yet and still they trod on!! With unemployment so high, and the economy is tanking, who but this "disgusting duo" would come up with such a ponzi scheme?

I understand the paving projects. I just want to know where the money went from the streets that were supposed to be paved in this last budget year? Also, in that same list of streets to be paved for the last budget year, there were ones to be paved in this budget year. If the pattern follows, no streets will be paved if approved so you don't have to worry about that proposal anyway.

since when does making a mistake of electing these bozos.....make it alrigt to let them rob the city.......maybe reeves could just randomly rob people near the interstate...or outside the city limits....

Good luck to the CITIZENS of Decatur. You are going to need it--plus deep pockets.

Lets unspecified these clowns. No plans just spend the money. Who will profit from the Burningtree project? This project must stop! I love the tickler here BRAC recruitment, really. First, who would drive across the river bridge to live in Decatur? Second, most of the people are retiring. Third, tell me why anyone would move here in this city or in morgan county? Fourth, I ain't seen nothing happening yet and wonder if it ever will, that is except spending our money for a nightmare.

Go chamber, council, and commission. All are clowns

I feel we need to reduce the sales tax back down to 8%, fix our streets and traffic signals to free up needless traffic jams. Driving through Decatur is such a mess. The traffic signals are the worst operating signals I have noticed in many cities that I drive through. There are also a lot of signals that could be done away with and put in areas where signals are actually needed. Fix this first without borrowing or raising any rates with the reserve money and then work on the other non emergency stuff.

If sales tax go back to 8%, they will be getting a lot of Hartselle folks shopping in Decatur, since hartselle tax will be going up to 9% after the firstt of the year.

BRAC does not want Decatur.

when can they admit this

What a "NUT". Our country has more people out of work than ever in our history and plant's have closed down here and many people are struggling and this "dumb" person want's to go up on our water bill. He just passed and increase in our utilities..

Are you so dumb that you can't figure a way to operate things on what Decatur has now? How many more hilkes will there be?? This happenes on a regular basis and it needs to stop... NOW...

As, far, as, the street's .. we know that the Burninbgtree project and the Decatur project's is about streets for you and Hammons construction business.

You four are the worse counsilmen we have "EVER" had. You don't have any common sense.. Everything is really about you and saving Stanford for what you put him up to do. You are "greedy" and interested in yourself and your family and there is no telling how much you and you family have already profited from this city. You have "zero " interest in Decatur except to get what you can from this city. We are tired of you trying to rip us off. Are you running Decatur.. where in ---- is the Mayor.. ???

THE CITY HALL ADDITION IS COMMON SENSE, RATHER THAN BUYING ANOTHER BUILDING.....DO YOU ALL KNOW HOW MUCH RENT THE CITY PAYS FOR THE CITY HALL ANNEX. THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED WHERE THEY WERE UNTIL THERE WAS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. WE HAVE THROWN AWAY MONEY FOR YEARS ON RENT....

BRAC BRAC BARC, I hear that a lot, but come on yall ! Do you think that Decatur will get many families?

We have more industry per square inch on this river and the fear of pollutants are high. Decatur has sold out to heavy industry instead of trying to gleam some of the high tech away from Huntsville.

The schools ARE NOT the BEST either. We can't get past Bob Jones HS and others in HSV. Plus jobs for family members are not many, nor do they pay well enoughg to attact the best qualified.

The 1st impression of Decatur is the view of all that industry at the base of the bridge (Alabama Co Op) and then we have 6th Avenue. 6th Avenue makes Decatur look derelict.

If any infrastructure was going to have money spent on it; my vote woud be 6th Ave and doing something about the eye sores that plaque thiis city.

BRAC people will not come here. When anyone picks up the Daily their first impression of Decatur is a town where the Mayor and Council constantly bickering. We need new leaders! Also, I would bet that one of these jobs will go to Reeves General Contractors.

There is nothing intelligent or original about Stanford and Reeves. They have one thing on their mind along with Hammons and Anders..

To rip Decatur tax payers off..
