Are open discussions concerning long-range plans for Thomasville being held? What strategic planning is taking place, if any? Has this council decided to keep Thomasville stagnant instead of moving this historically progressive city forward? Is Blueprint 2028 collecting dust on a shelf somewhere?
Through an unnecessary audit at a cost of $23,000 to the citizens of Thomasville, the conspiracy nutters fail to validate their claims.
Will the council FINALLY make a decision about Pinetree before the state takes back the $3 million in funding?
A good plan is coming together. Team Thomasville is restoring power as fast as possible.

Max relays recent updates as certain council members try to wear holes in their City credit cards.
With pressure mounting on them due to City Charter violations and legal issues, a couple of members of the City Council are having a hard time keeping their stories straight.
Can the City Council get out of the mess they’ve created for themselves? Max recaps recent insanity.
Max comments on the recent mind-boggling (alleged) actions of Thomasville's Mayor Hobbs and other City Council members, which have led to pending litigation items.
At the May 30 City Council meeting, a vocal crowd of 400+ demanded an answer to a citizen’s SPLOST question, and Mayor Hobbs was unable to provide it. Should Mayor Hobbs have known the answer, especially since 9 to 11 million dollars are at stake? Absolutely. Here’s why.
Max gives comments regarding the shocking deceitfulness during the May 14, 2018 City Council meeting as three council members ambush the entire community with a surprise vote to move forward with three-laning S Pinetree Blvd. See episode 8 for more background on the S Pinetree history.
Max discusses how the zoning process works in Thomasville with specific reference to the recent Market Square project.
Hold onto your hat! Was the S Pinetree Blvd County plan to increase it to 3 lanes actually a part of the SPLOST vote? Will it really go to 3 lanes and at a whopping cost to the City - $$ millions?! And what about the safety issues for a “suicide lane”? Do studies show that it should be 3 lanes or is this a fleecing of our community? Who really owns this section of road, anyways?
Max and Thomasville community leader Tyree Brown sit down and talk about Mr. Brown’s involvement with the Thomasville Forward Forum, civic engagement, and the future of the community.
Max explains the history of historic preservation in Thomasville and why the preservation process is vital to the community. Disregarding the process would have detrimental effects on our community.
In this episode, Max Beverly comments on the City Council’s recent decision regarding the City-County intergovernmental agreement and how it could erode the financial health of Thomasville.
As the newly-elected Thomasville City Council members on-boarded at the January 8, 2018 City Council meeting, poor behavior set the tone for the new City Council.
