To our County employees that got out there and voted in their own interests. You deserve to get everything you voted for and the voters (taxpayers) that didn't turn out and vote deserve it as well.

Just keep doing what you are doing, it seems to be working to your benefit. We'll just stand by and pay the bills.

It's great seeing you win a Commission seat. I know that you will continue the positive changes enacted by the current Board. We are seeing a real change in the culture of the County's management where people matter, taxpayers are placed first, and the County's welfare is valued more than personal political gain. With Lee's election and Robert's return to the board, we have seen an affirmation of this Board's value system and policies. I hope Jack Smith and this new Board continue its important work.

Negative Nelly, the most anti employee politician I have ever seen. Remember if it were not for the hard working employee's there would be NO Fayette as you know it. YOUR attitude and style was eventually going to catch you.
