this is a copy of the 2nd letter
Dear Mayor Cecil Williamson,
I would like to start this letter with a question. Have you driven any of the roads in Demopolis lately? If you have I hope you would have noticed the trash is the ditches and on the medians. I attend Alabama Southern and driving to class every morning I notice that the trash in our ditches is a disgrace. Not only is is outside the city limits,which I know isn't in your control, it's also inside our city limits. Jefferson and Bell Grayson are the worst, at least that is what I have to see every morning. Even on Highway 80, east and west, there is litter in the medians.This Makes the whole town as a whole look filthy. This is very embarassing to me and it should be to you as well, after all you are the mayor of Demopolis. After all I have said I would hope something will be done. I would even be willing to volunteer my time. I'm sure once this problem has be made to the city others will step in and help.

What do ya'll think of the letter??

Well for one, the people that want to do community service instead of paying there fine if they don't have the money could be used to do this service. Not only that, the city can get workers from the cattle ranch from Hale County and if I'm correct they do get them from time to time in a clean up effort.

But the letter is what is the main concern, Why hasn't there been no effort of cleaning the streets, ditches, medians, and highways? Good letter blondie.

Are you sure they're convicts and not Demopolis Street Department employees?

Buckblasta · 01-26-2005

Yep!! Street employees dont wear white suits with Department of Corrections written on them. There are about 3 or 4 workers.

That is what the convicts that work for the City of Linden wear and plus if you notice they have a old Demopolis police car that they use to cary them back and forth from the Cattle Ranch in Hale County. I saw them on my way to Tuscaloosa one afternoon after I got gas at Parrs. Matter of fact I passed them on Hwy 80 out of Demopolis and they were wearing the white clothing.
