Tignall News Thank you Commissioner Sam Moore and the Wilkes County Sheriff's Department for having the trash picked up out on the Tignall Road. If we just had a system where bells and whistles would sound every time a piece of trash was thrown out and the culprits could be prosecuted!! ..The 2007 General Assembly is in its final days and it looks like in the nay column are the following: Gas pipelines. It seems that the pipeline company was of the opinion that if cities and counties can be restricted in using their power of eminent domain, so should utilities that want to bypass state regulations and lay more pipelines around the state. SB 173 would have opened the door to abuse of private property rights. They got this one right.
English as the official language. Supporters of HR 413 want a constitutional amendment and say it is needed to promote assimilation. But it's really aimed at making life tougher on illegal immigrants. And why not? At the same time it tells legal immigrants who have gained citizenship that they're less of a citizen than the rest of us. Not. When you move to another country, you learn their language! ..I do it every year. I put away winter clothes thinking spring has sprung. Then what happens? Winter comes back again and I have to go digging out some sweaters to wear before spring comes back to stay awhile. I guess I'm in a hurry for spring and summer. ..I hope everyone in this area has noticed our newly renovated Tignall sign at the entrance to the town on the south side.
