if you don't like it, you can move.....

Franklin Mayor Tom Miller has ticked a few residents off. He has received calls, letters and e-mails from some in the Franklin community who are critical of his plan to house 500 refugees at the former CPS manufacturing plant on Columbia Avenue. Mayor Miller had this to say at the Franklin City Hall meeting Tuesday night:

"For those people in the community who think we're doing the wrong thing, don't call me. Don't send me an e-mail. Because this is the right thing to do."

Some Franklin residents are concerned that crime and violence will naturally follow these people when they move into the old CPS plant.

Later, the mayor added, "These are fellow Americans.....if you don't like what we're doing - if you don't like the fact that we're bringing people from the gulf coast here - you can move."

And I thought the city of Brentwood was being snobbish us when they wouldn't let us use their library for free any more.....
