Paulding County News: Pastor Steve Flockhardt from New Season Church

Описание: Welcome to your Paulding County News Podcast.  I’m Melissa Carter, along with Doug Harding.  A local student is arrested, but not everyone agrees it was the right move.  Plus, why don’t all Paulding County hospitals have the same services? We’ll get your take. But first let’s take a look at our top stories.

After 137 days of license suspension, the Dallas Markets have announced they have their business license again. 


 


You remember in November the markets were ordered closed after owner Andrew Rodriquez started building an unpermitted bunker.


 


The Rodriquezes say they will soon announce the official reopening of the markets.

Last week Dollar Tree, Inc. revealed plans to shutter approximately 1,000 Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores.


The decision outlines the closure of approximately 600 Family Dollar outlets this year, with an additional 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree stores to follow suit over the next few years.


There are several in Paulding County, though no word on which stores may be closing.


Most recently, Family Dollar made headlines for a record $42 million fine imposed due to federal officials' findings of unsanitary storage conditions for food, drugs, and other items.

Arrest Report


 


From the Georgia Gazette:


 


A Paulding County High School student was arrested for possession of marijuana and knife in her purse, which she said she kept for protection at her mother’s house but thought she had removed it.


 


Brandyy Red


Is no one concerned why this child needs a knife for protection at her mom’s house?


 


Staci Cain-Carter


Maybe if this joke ass school system would ACTUALLY do something, these kids wouldn’t feel the need to go to this extreme.


 


Lisa Braddock


wait a sec. What exactly would y’all expect a school to do about a kid peddling vapes and drugs with a knife? She’s not a baby … mugshots … legal adult here. I’d be more concerned if the school didn’t do this. Vape pens and marijuana are all in every school and it is a concern. What should have been done??


 


 


Social Media


 


From the What’s Happening in Paulding County Facebook page:


 


Tina Contois posted:  Paulding County is growing so very quickly. I do not understand how the local hospital does not have labor and delivery there. Tanner hospital in Villa Ricca does for god sake‘s.


 


Evelyn S Elsner


It has to do with politics.


 


Casey Whatyousay


Lots of misinformation here. Ultimately boils down to GA certificate of Need. All additions to hospital and associated programs require approval. Approval that is most of time met with lawsuits from neighboring competitors. Can take upwards of 5-10 years to get through the bureaucracy. By then what you originally was seeking approval for is out dated. Thats why hospitals always seem “behind the times.”


 


Jodi Steed


The Certificate of Need system in Georgia is what controls the medical offerings in an area. There is currently a push in legislation to abolish the CON in Ga. Call your state senators and representatives to voice your opinions.


 


Kylie Hunter


Tanner’s care is better than Wellstar’s anyways.

Weird Story


A decaying police headquarters in New Orleans has brought an odd problem to officers, rats in the evidence room.


 


Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick revealed that the vermin-infested building has reached such dire conditions that rats managed to snack on confiscated marijuana.


 


'The rats eating our marijuana, they're all high,' she remarked during a city council meeting.


 


Plans are underway to relocate the 910 officers to a temporary high-rise building.
