Praise to Mr. Gravely
Dear Editor:
I want to “applaud” Mr. Gravely for his article that was printed in the SW Times this week. You could clearly feel his love for his family, friends and our community.
So, I thank Mr. Gravely for taking to time to set the record straight on his behalf and for reminding us of what is the most important thing about our community…and that is to always “remember the kids”!!!! They are our future and we need to help guide them in the right way as they grow.
This community will recover from this mishap and I agree with Mr. Gravely we need to move on. Accept things as they are and get back to working together! Help out whenever and where ever you can. Pray for our community and our country.
One day I’ll be sure when I see Mr. Gravely to shake his hand and thank him for his work he has done and will continue to do to keep our community going for our kids because that is what it is all about.
I do wish the PCHS best wishes on finding the right coach to lead them into this upcoming year and the future.
We are Cougars and We will stand strong together as one!
Sincerely,
Felicia J. McMillan
PCHS Class of 1980
Exit 94 won’t make or break Pulaski
Dear Editor:
I am pleased that Mayor (Jeff) Worrell and Councilman (Morgan) Welker are not letting state funding money burn a hole in our pockets. Let us not forget that Federal funding, State funding, and Town funding are all different names for OUR tax dollars.
I believe neither Route 99 nor Exit 94 are inhibiting the growth of Pulaski, which has been in decline for several decades now, and I find it sadly amusing that anyone would offer such a theory. Everyone knows Pulaski's plight, shared by thousands of small, old towns across this country, is about jobs. Jobs have left and are continuing to leave this area. While Exit 94 topography makes visibility a real concern, it's not going to make or break Pulaski.
Fiscal responsibility is the order of the day. Spend my tax dollars, regardless of their origin, responsibly, and don't spend just to use it up.
On another topic, can you write a little article on how much money we saved with those remote electric meters? Since the bulk of the savings was going to be the 1.5 persons no longer needed (to read them), I am wondering if they have found work yet?
Thanks!
