For several months now Coosa County has been working on implementing an enhanced 911 system. It would appear from the articles and letters in the March 9th issue of the Coosa County News that they may be the first location in the country where implementation of E911 takes lives instead of saving them. I say that because the headline of the paper was "Sparks fly over E911 Issues". Seems they had a heated meeting that turned into a full scale argument about implementation. If that wasn't enough, another article reports that one of the county commissioners had been arrested for assault. Seems he and the Kellyton Fire Cheif got in fist fight over, you guessed it, E911. In the letters to the editor section of the paper, there was a letter of apology from the County E911 chairman for loosing control of the March 1st meeting and for loosing his temper.
I think maybe Coosa County ought to give up on this E911 thing before someone gets hurt.
