My two cents
The proposed zoning request by Winn Materials, to allow them to expand their barge port facility, has caused quite a controversy, again. It seems every time we have an opportunity to bring a barge port to Clarksville, it’s met with much opposition.

Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan’s letter regarding the FY2012 Budget
June 9, 2011
Dear Council Members and Citizens of Clarksville:
The budget process provides an annual opportunity to examine the City’s performance and our community’s economic health. Through the budget process, we have the ability to review what we did right and wrong in the current budget, assess our strengths and weaknesses, and plan for future opportunities and challenges that face the community of Clarksville. As your new Mayor, I have stated that my Administration will be transparent and open about our priorities and goals and that I will keep both the City Council and our citizens apprised of the City’s ongoing projects and our financial condition. Despite serving 12 years on the Tennessee House Finance, Ways and Means Committee and having a good understanding of governmental accounting, I think you can appreciate that with an overall City budget in excess of $418 million in one of the fastest growing Cities in Tennessee, that it has taken a few months for me to review all the areas included in the City’s budget. Therefore this budget will serve not only as the annual budget, but as my first update on the status of City projects and City finances. «Read the rest of this article»
Other options exist for funding School Construction and Renovation
A letter to the editor from Keith Svadba on possible alternatives for funding new school construction and renovation.
The Official Logo of Montgomery County Tennessee
Over the last week the school board made a request to the county commission budget committee for 56 million dollars for new construction of two schools and upgrades to North West High School. I do not think that anyone will argue against the need for new schools or that even more will not be needed in the coming years.
The County Commissioners find themselves faced with two options. Either raise taxes, or put off the construction. At present they are looking at a 6 cent increase in property tax from 2.88 to 2.94. This will an option that will be unpopular to most residents, and an undue burden to many. «Read the rest of this article»
