| It is time for change in our city. Our town is stagnant and in danger of dying. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to enact change now. A town that is in poor shape offers nothing for their future. We have high unemployment, high drop out rate, high teen pregnancy rate, high use and manufacturing of methamphetamines all of these things can be traced to a town under the poverty level that is failing to thrive. Until I was unjustly acted upon by the police at the direction of City Manager Philip Eidson I paid little attention to our city government. When my story was printed in the news paper and aired on the radio I started getting email, phone calls and people stopping me on the street and telling me their stories. I was appalled at the numerous stories I heard and the fact that Mr. Eidson was referred to as “King Philip” and it was unanimously thought that this man could never be put out of his job, that he has it for life. Philip Eidson does not have his job for life. I am not saying all the faults in this city is to be placed on Mr. Eidson’s desk, but But maybe he has been in charge for long enough. Is it time to enact change for the better ? We must look to Our New City Council and New Mayor to help our city. If is the wish of the people all it takes to remove the City Manager from office is a majority vote by the city council in a regular or special session. There are provisions in the City Charter (available at city hall as part of the public information act) for a temporary or interim City Manager to fill the job until a qualified person can be found to fulfill to position. We need your voice. We will hold a public meeting at my building on Saturday February 11 at 6 p.m. For all People who care about the future of this town Meeting was great see link for Meeting for more information Tell us what you want Tallapoosa to be for the next generation.
