The Decatur City Council will welcome public feedback and consider adopting its 2024-25 tax rate and budget Monday night.
I recently read the Messenger editorial on alternative road name ideas and found the suggestions compelling yet insulting to the people of Wise County. If the Messenger really believed in their editorial and naming roads after those in their editorial why bring it up now? Why was there no mention of this before multiple residents brought up the idea of “Trump Way“ in Decatur? The idea is not new. Obama has hundreds of roads, parks, and schools named after him. President Trump, almost zero.
