TO: Valdosta City Mayor, Council Members, Citizens, and Beyond…
A RECAP FROM JUNE 12, 2009, VALDOSTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND MY ORIGINAL QUESTIONS TO COUNCIL FROM LAST MONTH COUNCIL MEETING THAT COUNCIL MEETINGS BE TELEVISED ON LOCAL TELEVISION STATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL CITIZENS.
Mr. Mayor and Council. I thank you all for answering my questions put before you a few weeks ago. Your timely response represents our government at its best. However, I never received an answer to my question that Valdosta City Council Meetings be televised. I would like to see our council meetings televised, as the Rev. Martin L. King Jr. Corridor Program was recently. This program gave the general public a golden opportunity to see their elected officials working to move our city forward towards change and inclusion.
I believe the citizens have a right to know what is going on during these meetings, and not be hoodwinked. If these meetings had been televised, Rev. Rose would NOT be here today, asking Councilman Yost to explain a comment he made at the last meeting. We the people would already know. Then Mayor Fretti Interrupted, “George if you will send me an e-mail, I will take care of that part of your concerns?” Yes Sir! Thank you sir, I will do that.
Mr. Mayor and Council allow me to explain what I mean: On May 16, 2009, a Commemoration Program was held in Hahira for Mary Turner. She was a Black female that was lynched upside down, in her eight months pregnancy, her baby was ripped from her womb with a pocket knife, the baby gave out two screams her head fell to the ground, and crushed beneath a white mob member boot.
a. Mary Turner the mother of three, was then doused in gasoline, motor oil, burned to a crisp, her body was riddled with bullets, and they marked her grave with a whisky bottle, near the Little Bridge Bride---in May 1918 in Brooks County Georgia just outside the city limits of Hahira.
b. This sad and disgraceful day has become known in Georgia, and World History the world over as “A Week of Terror” in Brooks and Lowndes County Georgia. People came from around the country to pay respect during this historical event. There were Black and White Citizens who came together with other Civil and Human Rights organizations to honor the untimely death of Mary Turner and the other twelve murders committed in May 1918.
c. As my comments from last week’s meeting were not published to the general public about having these meetings published for all to see. And the comments by another citizen that spoke of carrying a concealed pistol in his back pocket without a permit to protect him from potential criminals. In fact he patted his back pocket as if though he might have had it in his pocket at the time. However the general public knows absolutely nothing about this happening at last weeks meeting.
So with the increase in shootings and home invasions among other crimes in Valdosta citizens have a need to know. And in my opinion Valdosta cannot be called a Metropolitan City in truth when local television stations and newspapers refuse to inform the general public of news worthy events in our community or pretend that no historical event took place in South Georgia that consisted of:
a. Over 300 people from across the nation including Mary Turner’s own family members came together at the Hahira Community Center.
b. With these 300 citizens sitting down eating breakfast, giving speeches, laughing, crying as they citizens reflected upon the death of Mary Turner and her husband Hayes Turner. Along with many other murdered victims in Brooks and Lowndes County Georgia back in May 1918.
c. A 105 Vehicle Motorcade, escorted by the Hahira Police Department from the City of Hahira to the Little River Bridge in Brooks County. As they traveled on to the official site where Mary Turner was murdered in May 1918.
d. A program with citizens from all nationalities, religious persuasions, Valdosta State University, Moody Air Force Base including retired military veterans from near and far spoke from the back of a pickup truck while other citizens stopped and joined in the commemoration service of Mary Turner after arriving at the site.
e. Then a temporary cross was erected where she was murdered, until an official slab and historical marker will be placed later on this year. While members of the family spoke of a possible big screen movie being done concerning “the week of terror” in Brooks and Lowndes County in the near future.
It seems that our local television stations and newspaper are bent on keeping the citizens in our community deaf, dumb, and blind to the times, and that our local media had no known justifiable reason for ignoring the commemoration program on May 16, 2009. This historical period “A Week of Terror” has been documented and this omission is nothing new to our area. Moreover, I believe our local media has done a great disservice to our beloved community in 2009.
a. How many of you ----read anything in our local newspaper, or saw the event on our local TV Stations, covering this event in Hahira on May 16, 2009? A long pause…none of you, no not one. Because our local controlled mass media-----did not report it to the general public, but like Mary Turner many citizens are getting sick and tired of being--- sick and tired of being ignored for whatever reason.
b. We must understand that ignoring certain segments of our community is nothing new. This problem has existed for decades but for some reason it continues but the citizens of Georgia still have a right o know. Instead of being kept deaf, dumb, and blind to the times. So citizens will not be able to make intelligent decisions based on facts.
Mr. Mayor and Council, I am not criticizing the council, but as long as we are seen--- as a small backwoods town with outdated news media outlets. Then our children will always be at a great lost and their parents will be unable to vote the right people into office and the Valdosta City Council will be at a great lost.
This is my letter to your June 12, 2009 request at the last council meeting. My question: Why can’t Valdosta City Council Meetings be televised like many other Metropolitan cites as many others in the State of Georgia? We must insure that our citizens are properly informed, and when truth comes, falsehood must vanish, and falsehood is forever a vanishing thing. Over and over again history tells us that truth, right, and justice will eventually win in the end---without exception. (Galatians 6; 7, Luke 4-18).

Letter to Rep. Tim Golden and Jack Kingston, Georgia Workers Rights, "Georgia At Will Employment Law" QUESTIONS NEEDS ANSWERS....
June 27, 2009
George Boston Rhynes
Valdosta, Georgia
To: Letter to the editor, “Open Letter to Georgia Law Makers”
Is the State of Georgia and America in general nearing a state of revolt due to employers hiring illegal immigrants and undocumented workers that has contributed to a faltering job market as American citizens suffers?
Therefore on behalf of citizens in the State of Georgia and around the nation, I would like Georgia State Representative Tim golden and Jack Kingston to provide answers to the following questions. As they relate to enforcement of city, county, state, or federal law if applicable to (employers) employing illegal aliens on various projects and job sites that increases the number of unemployed workers in the State of Georgia and around the nation?
a. What person or agency can citizens contact to report EMPLOYERS who employ illegal aliens and forcing states to pay unnecessary unemployment compensation because of un-American practices?
b. What law should citizens read to educate themselves about the hiring of illegal aliens, and undocumented workers that is increasing our taxes through paying unemployment compensations?
c. How many companies and job sites in the last two years in Valdosta-Lowndes County Georgia have been reviewed, inspected or monitored for the hiring of illegal aliens or undocumented workers at the expense of American citizens being unemployed?
d. How many of these companies (monitored) were identified as employing illegal workers within the last three years in Valdosta-Lowndes County Georgia.
e. What agency or member of law enforcement discovered the illegal activity and what was the average amount of the fine inflicted?
f. How many employers have being charged, arrested or jailed while many American citizens continue to blame immigrants and illegal aliens? (This should be of special importance when it comes to contract jobs, and road crews etc.)
g. Why should politicians criticize illegal aliens but do nothing to EMPLOYERS that employs them?
h. If homeowners are required and they are to abide by city and county codes or be charged, then should not our government monitor and control the hiring practices of EMPLOYERS that are taking jobs from the American people at taxpayer’s expense?
i. If motorists are ticket twenty-four seven for speeding violations etc. Then should not EMPLOYERS be issued citations twenty-four seven for breaking the law—instead of sending American workers to the unemployment lines and increasing our taxes due to the hiring of illegal aliens?
j. What is your stand on Georgia’s disgraceful “At will Employment law” wherein companies can fire workers for good cause, bad cause, or for no cause at all without having to give Georgia WORKERS a reason for their wrongful terminations? Do you agree with this law, and if not what are you doing to remove it from the books?
k. Finally, if motorists are charged $105.00 for one brake light being out by law enforcement? Then why cannot this same amount of force be dispersed so Americans can have a job to take care of their family and love ones? Instead of employers hiring illegal aliens during these hard economic times?
It is my desire to see our elected officials respond publicly to this Letter to the Editor so all minds and hearts of concerned citizens will be soothed, especially those who are unemployed and have exhausted all unemployment compensations or about to loose their homes---due to a lack of community jobs.

Valdosta Mayor Fretti and City Council Members arrested fifteen citizens at Monthly Meeting. who were they?
Did you hear about the fifteen local citizens arrested in Valdosta, Georgia for addressing Mayor John Fretti, and other elected officials on May 5, 2005?
If not, it may be because our local media is doing what it does best. Helping to keep the general public deaf, dumb, and blind so they will be unable to make intelligent decisions based on what is happening in their local community. How sad?
Clink the link below: Then ask yourself why would our local television stations and newspapers fail to report these individuals name to the general public except in the Valdosta Crime Report following their unnecessary arrest?
We had better wake up to the new reality in Valdosta, and Lowndes County Georgia. Moreover, we had better check the history of Brooks and Lowndes County Georgia for a better understanding of their historical past.

Is City of McDonough, Georgia, Department Heads, Forcing Females, and Black African Africans From jobs during these hard economic times?
I received this e-mail from an individual that reads my blog, and often visit this site. Therefore after discussing this situation with him I decided to post the letter on this site:
TO: The people of Georgia and beyond....
It seem apparent that the City of McDonough, Georgia Department Heads, are forcing Females, and Black African Africans from their jobs during these hard economic times.
Yes! It has been brought to my attention that the City of McDonough, Georgia, is allowing various Department Heads to force females, minorities, including African Americans, out of the workplace at jet lighting speed. It is also known that these same individuals are denied employment with the City, and an equal opportunity for promotions within various Departments
We must never yield to the pressure of the world nor become a part of the world system. While we are to earn our livelihood from the world, we are not to adapt to its ways. We must stay focus and fight this Evil Giant that perpetual racism and sexism.
The work place for employees should be a peaceful working Environment, not a hot zone that causes people to always have to look over their shoulder. But; every worker in America is under the protection of the Retaliatory Act. Our citizens should not be fooled nor tricked by local leader anymore who make promises that they know they will not keep.
There are a lot of insensitivity toward the plight of blacks that is down right irresponsible, immoral, repugnant, unethical, reprehensible, wick, sinful.
In my opinion the elected officials (Mayor and Council members) in McDonough, Georgia have become socially, psychologically and moralistically blind to what is happening right in their face which causes things to become ineffective, crippling and unfit.
We must not be harsh or judgmental toward our elected officials, but understand that they are asleep to the facts and we must attempt to wake them, to the downfall that is happening.
It is time for a change from the Old South to a New South.
Moreover, we cannot simply bury our head in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich bird and pretend that we are in heaven, while females and other Black African Americans workers are being forced from their jobs, and not being promoted as their peers.
Again, its time for a change, and I am willing to support such a change!

Timothy (Tim) H. Carroll, District 5,
Robert Yost, District 6,
John Eunice, At Large
I attended the last Valdosta, Georgia City Council Meeting on April 9, 2009, and was somewhat not as informed as I should have been concerning the issue of Enterprise Zone Area Designation. The Georgia Urban Redevelopment Law (OCGA, Section 36-61-1,and what constituted a correct designation of such properties, and locations in Valdosta.
http://www.dca.state.ga.us/economic/DevelopmentTools/programs/enterpriseZones.asp
Therefore, I need more information as to what convinced you (respectively), to vote the way you did at the meeting. I read the law over and over again. However, I still need additional clarification in order to move on.
In addition, I am asking each of you to provide me with (very short), reasons why you voted to approve the recommendation at the last meeting.
a. Do you believe the area designated in Valdosta meet the qualification guidelines?
b. If so, how many do you feel meets or exceeds what is required?
c. Do you believe the areas designated have the best POTENTIAL of helping the people that are listed in the Georgia Urban Redevelopment Law?
d. Do you believe the ordinary citizens in your district will AGREE that they will be better served by the location approved by the Valdosta City Council?
Please understand that I am only trying to understand what is going on in our community, and I need your individual input.
I will greatly appreciate your timely response ASAP.

INFORMATION: {THE ENTERPRISE ZONE AREA MUST MEET AT LEAST THREE OF THE FIVE CRITERIA’S}.
1. Pervasive poverty established using the most current United States decennial census prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Census .
2. Unemployment Rate (average for preceding yr.) at least 10% higher than State or significant job dislocation.
3. Underdevelopment evidenced by lack of building permits, licenses, land disturbance permits, etc. lower than development activity within local body's jurisdiction.
4. General distress and adverse conditions (population decline, health and safety issues etc.).
5. General Blight evidenced by the inclusion of any portion of the nominated area in an urban redevelopment area.

These are words in the old Valdosta City Charter of 1860, that was removed from city hall a few years ago, but not without opposition from the mayor and some council members that read:
In Article 100, Section XI: “THAT THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL SHALL PASS ALL PROPER AND NECESSARY LAWS AND ORDINANCES FOR THE CONTROL OF SLAVES AND FREE PERSONS OF COLOR IN SAID TOWN AND SUPPRESS AND ABATE ALL NUISANCES ARRIVING FROM HOGS, DOGS, HORSES, OR OTHER STOCK STRAYING AT LARGE IN SAID TOWN, OR FROM OTHER CAUSES.”
Questions ignored by Valdosta City Council Members. Therefore I must ask if the old Valdosta, Georgia 1860 City Charter is still in force?

my comments:
It seems that a courteous reply would have been more appropriate than to ignore the questions. But then again, we love our elected officials because they represent the voices and wishes of the people. We must thank them for their service to the people of our beloved city.
