It was certainly my choice to create and uphold the comment policy, however if I'm following my long-standing rules, it's no choice at all. It's just the way things work around here. And just so we're clear, it wasn't because you criticized this person's positions that got you moderated, it was the mocking, intentional misspelling that you included. (And of course, your previous comment on the subject, that was clearly against the policy.)I'm not sure if I'd call the criticism "ridicule", but regardless, no public organization should be immune from criticism. If there was a post-Michelle Obama comment - and I'm not sure I saw one - it sorta sucks that he rained on their parade, but still, we should respect each other enough to stick to the topic at hand and stay away from the personal attacks. I'm a big fan of Farm to School and have supported them since day one in most ways I can with this site. I don't agree with the criticism against them, but I stand by the comment policy of this site. It has rarely steered me wrong. Actually, it wasn’t my choice.

The Renfroe infrastructure project shows $845,500 for construction and professional services. The Career Academy shows $855,100 for professional services, construction, equipment, and travel. The Fifth Avenue project shows $965,400 for professional services and construction. There has been $40,600 spent on Fourth Avenue for land improvement. The College Heights long term liability shows two of four payments on the December report. The interest payment for the SPLOST GO Bond debt was paid in July. The November report included the first Build America Bonds interest payment of $288,500 of the fiscal year for the COPS debt.So as Rob said, it seems like if SPLOST disappeared we'd just have to redirect funding to cover portions of 5th Ave. I’ll check with CSD, but from what I can gather from notes, SPLOST money is being currently being used to pay for construction and other costs associated with 5th Ave. Here’s the SPLOST part of the financial report from December…
