Overdue. This will help with the Morgan 911 board sending all ems calls from Calhoun to Athens Limestone EMS, even if an ambulance was closer in Decatur when the decision was made to re-draw boundray lines. This should help re-do this not well thought out decision.

This would be huge for Decatur, smart move. Bought time someone beat Huntsville to the punch on something.

Wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. WOW!

I hoope this happens, would be great for Decatur & Tanner.

Fantastic news and another wise decision from leadership within Calhoun

WALLY TERRY DELIVERS AGAIN.

William, it is true Wally delivered, but how long until DONothing Kyle takes credit for it? Don't forget Mayor Stanford had a part in making this happen.

William, you have done nothing but tear down Kyle while singing Stanford's praises, but yet you never present anything to back up what you comment about. I can go down Hwy. 31/6th Avenue and the Beltline and see quite a few things that "DONothing Kyle" had his hand in when he was mayor. If Kyle had his way, there would be a huge development with a Bass Pro Shops and convention center inside the city limits also. Wow, he was just a "DONothing" kind of guy huh?

Stanford brought in some businesses also, so I would give him credit for what he did. Kyle was not a perfect mayor during his first term, but he also had a council that seemed to want to stall the city with any type of progress. I don't have any personal bias against Stanford and I don't know Kyle. I just like to look at the records and try not to neglect facts. However, you seem to have some type of bias towards Kyle that leads you to make comments that do ignore the facts.
