Review of Montgomery, Alabama


City of Montgomery Alabama
Star Rating - 6/26/2012
I must have been under the "witches brew that made me crazy as hell" when I move here. This has to be the worst city in the Alabama, but could be a great place if it had a worth while city government with leaders, not ones who only talk with the same phrase - "You know what I'm sayings". Folks if we knew what ones meant than why are you all talking about a dead subject? Wake Up! This is the Capital City; it does have a name world wide. Ones talk about family values, accountability and change than why not put those subjects as first priority instead of telling others the opposite once in office. Consider this Mayor Strange, if Gulf Shores looked like Montgomery there would be no reasons ones would want to go to the beach. People will not visit an area that has MT buildings, parking meters, limited entertainment and high city taxes. Not mention unsafe areas day or night, children playing basketball in the streets, kids wearing their pants down to their thighs. If city leaders cannot make change than whom in the heck do you think is going to do it? Who in ones right mine would pay to experience all that? Lack of money is a quitters thought, Montgomery has tax on several usual areas, except human gas, but ones will do that when they can find a "loop-hole" to implement a vote. No one shall mine paying taxes if the money is used to support ones city. The only question ones feel left out is that ones claim it goes here and there, but where is the proof, ones conversation? Give us all a break - Yea Right...Put those conversation figures in "black and white" print where ones can see where the money is being spent, show the cancelled checks and deposit slips. Prove to the people their tax revenues are being used as ones claim because I do not see or believe one thing I've been told, especially from a politician.
We all pay a 5% tax plus .25 cents additional for every cable or communication bill to all subscribers in Montgomery. If 201,936 citizens live in City of Montgomery in 2011 according to census, that is a lot of money collected just on ones cable bill each month - Where is the money being used? Don't tell us, show us the facts because me for one is tired of all the rhetoric.
Montgomery will "never" have any chance for change left until the dead sticks are voted out of these offices. These are the ones who have cheated the citizens with their offsets of MT opportunities.

This country is crumbling around us all because we all are responsible for listen to dreamers, similar to ones in offices in Montgomery today. Now it has come knocking on several of our doors with job losses, foreclosures, suicides , divorces, our kids coming home cripple for life from a country that will not honor their code to its veterans and the lucky ones lie in a draped casket. Those will be missed, but don't cry, rejoice as ones have gone home. Had we had real thinkers representing our governments, not smoke screen actors we all could fulfill our goals without interruptions from these "dreamers". Everything moves in cycles, just like life, but to be ahead of the next cycle ones must do it without any interruptions. Remember we all only have so much time before we go to our finally resting place, so don't waste it on these dreamers.

Why Mayor Strange did you go to another country to find opportunities for Montgomery? Are you scared someone's in this area might be smarter than those overseas? Alabamians are not stupid, just different in several ways.

For starters Todd, we do not like others coming to take our jobs away, integrating our schools with unwanted languages and disease, we do not want to eat food from none other than American farmers, drink water from none other than American streams, and be able to call anyone we like without having to press "1" for English. I ask you again Mayor Strange why are you seeking opportunities outside of the area when you received your votes here! Are you really for the people are just for Todd…
