Citizens of Corinth Fight City Hall
The city council of Corinth passed a measure to widen Church Street and remove around 500 trees in the process. The total cost of this project is around 2.4 million dollars.
Sim Portnoy is leading a group of citizens in the fight to save these trees. They feel the road can be repaired, and sidewalks installed in a way that the beauty of the trees on Church Street can be saved. This would cost less than the removal of all the trees, and is prudent with the cities current economic condition. Sim was removed last night from the council meeting, and it was covered by our local CBS station, you can view the video from the cbs11.com website, with additional comments from the blog for Citizens of Corinth for Transparency website.
With the passage of this, Sim is still determined to fight. The group will be meeting at Meadow Oak Park located at Meadows Oak and S. Corinth Street at 12 Noon on Saturday, May 23, to discuss how this can be fought. If you miss the meeting or cant attend, please contact Sim Portnoy via email at citizensofcorinth@yahoo.com.
Corinth City Hall has been haveing quite a bit of political problems over the last few years, and it looks like even after the recent elections, they have not shaken off their problems.
