Why Timmons Group?

Here's the poem I shared with board of supervisors last night. Today's blog after coffee and morning dog stroll..

For over a year, all we’ve heard you say

Ain’t no how, ain’t no way

Residential growth don’t pay

Still, y’all approve more everyday!

Then we’ll need new schools, then we’ll need new roads

Get more cars and more traffic, get more trucks with bigger loads

But, you don’t want that, we keep hearing you say

Just want industry to come our way

But, seems to be none soon coming

And, no James River water, Zion bumming

So, who chose Timmons, we still don’t know

Just who picked that bad way to go

And, why are we still paying them our money

Their water line research, claimed all was sunny

Wrong at James, why choose for Shannon Hill

Bet they won’t help pay on our law suit bill

Such bad research, really bad design

And, we’re out 40 mill on a dry water line..

But, then..

NO to “government” help on cell tower installation

But, YES, to tax money for industrial land speculation

You say you listen when we share

But, there’s still bad cell service everywhere

Keep dodging the questions, shifting the blame

Weather, contractors, not our fault, you claim

But, it is your fault cause you are in charge

Again, I thank you, your tasks, they are large

Yet, every meeting the protests grow

And, here’s what voters all want to know

Are you listening, are we heard?

With so few protested plans differed

When you went back on your word

With the Shannon Hill purchase, so absurd!

I’ll always remember what I was told

In these words, so plain and cold

“We can do what ever we want”

Is what Supervisor Williams said to me

That made it all pretty clear to see

Need to keep tabs on where our money’s going

That into the wrong pockets it ain’t flowing

So, we’ll keep watchin’

And, seeeeya soon!
