As
we saw,
ESG’s Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility flash flyer
quotes Jeff Pratt, President of Green Power EMC, who said this is Green Power
EMC’s third landfill energy project.
Curiously, Green Power EMC’s Landfill Gas Project page doesn’t
list the other two, and its

However, the other two appear to be:

and instead finding out how to desegregate the schools and improve education for everyone.
She already suggested
some things to do.

The members of the CUEE, they send their children to private schools —Annie Fisher
Valdosta school board member Annie Fisher
pointed out CUEE members sent their chidren to private schools
and now they’re meddling in public education.
She listed some real issues, such as
Valdosta city schools remain segregated,
focussing on tests just to meet AYP,
and we need
to remove students from the prison to the classroom.
“How can we equally educate each child?”Yes, let’s forget “unification” and focus on that.

“It’s not about the children. It’s about somebody’s ego.” —Sam Allen, FVCS, 7 July 2011
Sam Allen asked in various ways:
“What about the children?”He made it clear he doesn’t think school consolidation will help the children, and it will definitely hurt current Valdosta teachers and staff, so he says don’t do it.
Continuing the FVCS press conference, Sam Allen asked some good questions,
“If the school system was good enough for them, why isn’t it good enough for us?”and
“If there’s not going to be any change, why are we doing it?”

Sam Allen, former chair of the Valdosta school board and head of
Friends of Valdosta City Schools (FVCS) held
a press conference
to announce opposition after
CUEE announced 9,000 petitions for a referendum to
combine the Valdosta and Lowndes County school systems..
Why so late with the opposition?
Sam Allen explained:
“We were scared. We were intimidated because we had heard about all these consultants coming down, and all these studies being done. So we just thought that we would just sit back and watch and this thing would eventually go away like a bad dream. But folks I want you to know it’s not going away like a bad dream. It’s becoming a nightmare.Guess they’re not scared any more.Now we stand before you with one purpose in mind: do not sign any petitions. … If it comes to a vote, we want you to vote no.”
He added: Continue reading
