The community has stepped up to show its Pride in Pike. Funding for the annual Independence Day Celebration is nearly secured. Commissioners were unable to fund the fireworks show as in years past and citizens made donations and efforts to raise the $11,400 needed for the event.

And no I don't want to go to your site to hear the lame spu, post back.
NO JC, IN PARRISH WE DO NOT TRUST
He gave us;
JC Morrison on the Planning Board (stupid idea)
Danny Henderson Executive Fire Chief Volunteer with a $18,000 salary and pretty shinny car (dumb move).
Ron Snowden on the Appeals Board (stupid idea)
Parrish fell asleep stretched out on a court bench during a board meeting, rolled over and busted out on the floor. (could have been a workers comp accident?)
Three months in office voted himself a taxpayer paid well and insulated pump house.(being a elected official has it's privilege and prestige)
Parrish Swift introduced a new word in a very important meeting, "dark chocolate." That didn't taste good for him.
Voter 32, I can go with many many more truths. The only thing we will miss about Parrish Swift is no longer seeing him do his clown show and stealing the gavel from the Chair. Maybe falling asleep on the court bench was a part of the clown act, give him credit I guess, citizens laughed. Pretty funny Huh?

$10 per car load for pike county residents
$500 per car load for out of county residents
then maybe pike county residents will be able to go see the fireworks instead of staying away from all of the out of county folks and the terrible traffic.

Have you all really noticed that he comes on here makes his plug and when the heat gets turned up on his buddies, he becomes a no show. If you were a real patriot you would fight to the tooth for your cause. I do believe he has good intentions but his track record for people he supports really is pathetic.
Henderson & Swift do have one thing in common and that is neither are gainfully employed.

You need to be working on that Smelly Pollcat site. It sure reeks in Pike County, smells like a septic tank overflowed.
We've heard you and I don't know of anyone on the PJR site that ever agrees with what you have to say, well maybe your sweet tater and MM since they've come over on the PJR side too, now.
How long does it take for a Pollcat Sparklit site to die?
IN PROFITS I NEED
:>)
IN GOD WE TRUST
I agree with you. Don't be like that other site with, morning JC you sleep good? Yes I did. Going to be hot today. Yes it is. Want some chicken soup? Yes if I am asleep put it in the fridge. I'm going to pick strawberries.
Oh goody, save me some. And the beat goes on and on and on.
When Sparklit pulls the plug they will have to get telephones.
78.234.70.41 now what are you going to do?
IN GOLF WE DO NOT TRUST
Murphy and MM what a pair.
Rudy and Snake what a pair.
Morrison and Sweet Tater, well you know the drill by now Pike Patriot Homeowner.
Ask Cash McCall
Was He blackmailing People. He said His record was spotless someone needs to do a record check with the state. Can anyone say forced resignation.
THERE IS A GOD
Danny Chief wasn't a Lt. he was a FF when he quit. Just wanted to make sure no rumors...just facts.
It does tell the general population where there is smoke there is fire & we ain't as dumb as they think we are.
FOUR MORE WORKING DAYS
Thanks be to Commissioners Swift, Powers and Chairman Doug Mangham.
Unused and sealed Snake Bite Kits may be returned to the BOC Office which will be donated to the Boy Scouts.
Ok, what about folks who have moved to your county from other counties, but still have say Upson on their tags? They should not have to pay just because they have a Upson sticker on their car.
How about all the other counties start charging all the pike countians for coming to our walmarts, or eating places in other counties. How would you like that?
How many people from Pike county go to other counties to also watch the fireworks? I think this idea is absolutley ridiculous. It makes no difference what county you live in, in this day and time, there is not a county anywhere in the US that isn't having budget issues. Although it is us (the middle men) that get hurt the worse. Maybe if we did a complete swipe of the local, and state gov. And fed. Gov. We may get some progress occasionally. Politics is about nothing more than a powertrip, and hungry for money and greed. That's why its so corrupt and hurts the ones who carry this country. THE WORKING MAN!
But charging for fireworks is just a ridiculous as raising property taxes on property that is going down daily in value.
And we pay to shop at Wal-Mart and pay to eat, it's not free. Our sales taxes help those counties to be able to provide free fireworks. So in essence if we didn't go out of town to spend our money those counties may not have the luxury of free fireworks.
Poor little kids ought to be more interested in an education. They also need to be taught the government ain't here to fund their entertainment. Better learn early because we are going down as a nation faster than the Titanic.....
To the Meansville Monster: what about kids who are not of school age? You people make me sick. Yall are some of the most self centered selfish idiots there are. The last time I checked, it is still a FREE Country. However, back to 24.2, your a complete idiot. How many people actually in this country is gonna go pay to have license changed that move frome one street to another? How about we check even law enforcements license, how many of them actually do that?
So, there, I know that is what your supposed to do, but NO ONE ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THAT LAW! Maybe you should be more concerned about all the people padding their pockets, and the illegal immigrant, and welfare abusing problems in your county. Maybe if some of these issues's were takien care of, the county wouldn't be so hard up just to raise money for the Fireworks. How much have you donated for the fireworks fund? Maybe the county should charge for every head instead of just out of county visitors. As I recall, the people who are padding their own pockets (yalls analogy, not mine) are elected officials. So, therefore, I say yall who fuss !out this constantly have no one to blame but yourselves!
Now, as far as your rambling about illegal immigrants and welfare, etc., I don't even know how that subject arose in this conversation. You need to do some research on the phrase you threw out so freely, Free Country, we are an ObamaCountry, nothing is free....think about it and I'm sure it will eventually come to you. You need to go back down the other side of the mountain and stay in Upson Co and spread your BS down there.
NOTHING IS FREE...... You IGMO. Nothing, notta, comprende?
Vote early and vote often.

I waz reading the polecat other night and someone made a good point about how much the fireworks are still going to cost the taxpayers. Typical polecat response waz, if it isn’t conducive to their agenda it will be ignored.
I will bet the farm and a few ducks in the pond that Swift, Willis and Spencer will not prevail and change for the good will be bestowed upon Pike County.
“One Nation Under God” see I can do that too……
I'll be back!!!!!
That Friday night seemed just like any other
Friday night.
Jimmy wasn't gonna play,
Sittin on the bench, chompin at the bit,

A man went down, Jimmy went in,
third and long, first and ten,
Crowd went wild, Touchdown!
Jimmy said "I came to win"
If you're gonna go, go all the way.
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground.
If you can't run with the big dogs,

If ya can't lead, let me by you.
If ya won't follow, get out of the way.
You're takin up space.
Shelly had her daddy's money waitin,
All she had to do was share his chair,
She had a dream that he didn't want her chasin,
She was a night school millionare,
she worked two jobs, to pay her way,
Stayed up late to make the grade,
graduated Suma Cum Laude
PhD the hard way!
If you're gonna go, go all the way.
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground.

Life's too short to live in caution,
But life's too long not to live at all!

Oh you're takin up space
GET OUT THE WAY!
Good Luck Parrish, we need you.
IN GOD WE TRUST
Parrish Swift will make a comeback.
IN GOD WE TRUST
If chief had not been fired from Clayton, I guess he would not need walking around money, HUH? Also, look up the meaning of volunteer and get back with me. I guess we taxpayers will have to give Swift walking around money too?
Guess he gave up on finding a real job.
Do it for the citizens, not to repay a favor.
Don Collins and Parrish Swift voted to allow David Bresindine to fill the planning board position. Tommy Powers and Roosevelt Willis voted to return John C. Morrison to the board without a background check. Being a tie Doug Mangham broke it casting in favor of John C. Morrison. Morrison is known as JC and is the Executive Administrator of a local blog known as the PCat. Guess there is dancing on the beach in Florida tonight.
172 votes. 324 Tammy/252 Swift. Tammy beat Parrish, not Carol Bass of District 1. Maybe Roosevelt Willis can explain it to him real slow.
Thank You
