presstalk 671-TALK
• I would encourage the town of Farragut leadership to please take a serious look at implementing a Hotel/Motel Tax. I just spent one night in Atlanta, Ga., and the State Tax $12.53, County Tax $8.95, Georgia State Hotel/Motel Fee $5. It would seem to me that the Town could implement this and help stave off the talk about Property Tax.
• Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities. With that in mind, the farragutpress has developed policies that will be followed regarding the publication of presstalk comments:
• Libelous comments will not be published.
• Malicious comments will not be published.
• Comments will remain anonymous.
• Recorded comments will be limited to 30 seconds.
• Written comments should be limited to about 100 words.
• Names of individuals or businesses mentioned in the call may not be published (including public figures and officials) depending on the issue.
• Comments mentioning names of public figures, not issue related, will be published as a “Letter to the Editor” and must be signed.
• farragutpress reserves the right not to publish any comment for any reason.
• Because of space limitations, not every comment will be published. Also, portions of the 30-second message and written comments with more than 100 words may be omitted, but the basic message of the call or e-mail will remain intact.
• Vulgar language will not be printed.
That’s it. The forum is open for comments regarding anything you have on your mind — local politics, world affairs, sports, religion, community affairs, city-county unification or anything else.
