Good Morning All,
I just thought I would like to get some feed back on the thoughts of the citizens of Gaffney on a few of the problems I have noted since returning home after an absence of (50 years) to live.
Seems like since I returned home to live I have heard/read so much that is negative about a place I spent my young years and could not wait to return to, to spend my older years.
#1- The *NEW* High School that appears to be in danger of falling in on top of our kids and that has been so badly mismanaged costing the citizens of Gaffney hundreds of thousands of dollars, through the bad judgements of those in charge.
#2- The BPW who have spent their terms in office lining their pockets through *cushy* manipulated contracts and, who if not literally, at least figureatively *thumbed* their noses at the citizens who have had to foot the bill.
#3-A Mayor who would rather take his *Long planned Vacation* than stay and listen to how the people who voted him into office feel about this "New City Hall" that seems no one wants but himself. It has always been my understanding of the political life that when you run for a public office you give up your *private* plans for the good/welfare of your stewardship.
So....What say you all?
I have also noted that Gaffney doesn't even make the news unless it is some terrible event. Seems all the news ( good and bad) only happens in Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg and then with a mighty hop over to Charlotte.Why is that?
