Is PrivateEye@yahoo.com the real Judas at the Dayton City? If anyone wants to know the answer to this question, tune in to www.RheaCountyNewspaper.com for the answer. I am the editor of that alternative online newspaper and have given my blessing to expose this guy. By Monday, everyone of my 7,000 plus readers can read and decide for themselves. More importantly, the city cops can read it and know that there is a Judus among them. I will not be as stupid as him and rattle off names, especially his. Let them wonder WHO among them is the "RAT".

I think you will be amazed at who is telling what in that inner circle. This guy is using several names on Topix and I have waited until he was desperate enough to cross the line. Now he can deal with what the others have dealt with and I for one will be pushing it. WolfEagle, check your email bro as I have forwarded EVERY single email this guy has sent me including the picture of the Dayton City cop car in Meigs County. He wants to play hard ball, let's play...

It seems the city of Graysville barely gets by. I love small towns but if a small town cannot afford to offer good services then it is a waste of tax dollars to continue on with a city charter that has no benefits for the citizens. Im sure they cannot pay their employess much at all.

Graysville has come out and voted. The board has three new members. You voted in a new Mayor and he is a good man. I look forward working with him and all of the commissioners.

good citizens of graysville, beware the old board
and commission hired your police chief at a salary of over $30,000.0 a year and he will not
patrol. Can the town afford this? What does he do for that money?? People attend your meetings

Chief is making 32,040.00 salary. Gary Doss is salary at 32,040.00 and Ms. Horton is Salary at 34,000.00. The workers are out there busting there --- for just 9.75 per hour. That is 20,280.00 a year. Gary needs to be out there working in the field along with these man, not brown nosing the chief and Ms. Horton.....

I BELEVE TH CIY OF GRAYSVLLE DOES NOT REQUIRE A POLICE CHIEF WHO REFUSES TO PATROL AND SITS ALL DAY ON HIS BUTT AND HAS A SECRETARY TO DO HIS PAPERWORK. THIS IS WHERE THE TOWN IS GOING BROKE. GOOD CITIZENS ASK YOURSELVES. ARE WE BETTER OFF TODAY THAN WE WERE 5 YEARS AGO. THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION HAS JUST ABOUT BROKE THE SMALL TOWN

grayville police,why do you think the town died,when i was a kid,it was going strong.we shop there every week.it had large grocer store.barber shop.filling station.and several shops,you could by feed,get the picture,,then came the blue lite robbers.it got so bad you had to sneak around dodging cops,or get a ticket for any thing,people from sale creek started going to Soddy daisy,,from the late 70s the town has relied on the money that the cops can steal to surive..even today[now its a slum]smart people slow down sneak by it on 27,its not changed since the cop take over of the late 70s,its dead and needs to be taken off the list of city's,,it only sucks tax money,and serves no purpose other than to rob people..

First, I don't think Graysville cops deserve to be addressed as "police officer". I remember one night I was pulled over for speeding on 27 headed north into Dayton. It was prom night and I was in the 3rd car back and the time was just before midnight. I got pulled over for speeding. I went along with their charade knowing that at night a cop cannot realistically shoot radar. Also, radar targets the easiest accesible target, ie, the TWO car in front. Therefore, it was impossible for me to be clocked on a conventional radar gun at night. Oh, not to mention, i was probably certified in the same dradar class as those joke wads were. However, I never played on words, i went along. I told them of my objection and to simply go ahead and write me the citation. I know the Terry stop provisions and all that other stuff and it seemed to piss them off. To make a long story short, i know exactly how Graysville is. I myself choose no go the long way around and say the hell with 303 altogether (although it was a shortcut home). Police are very hard to beat especially when you have a judge that wants to act like he is the king of cops. My advise, boycott the entire town. Well, admittedly there isn't much to boycott and the town charter seems to be nothing more than a legal way to extort money from people by police. Once the ticket revenue dries up the town will soon fade away. Truthfully, what services does G-ville even offer? Just another layer of control that doesn't need to be there.

I had no idea radar wouldn't work at night. Makes me wonder how in the world the U.S. military, public airlines, or even the local weatherman can function when the sun sets.
