I agree with some of the posts below about Horgan's head on a platter as a way of taking people's mind off the Fayetteville bypass.

If I remember correctly, Jack Smith took an all expense paid trip to China with Harold Logsdon from the new Chinese company. Didn't hear Maxwell talking about integrity then???

The bypass is a rip off and it's far more important than Horgan who will be handled by the courts. Don't fall for the county smoke screen.

The BOEer's Smith and Smola are out next time, and so are Jack Smith, Maxwell and the others who vote for the bypass.

Vote Republican

The lone voices in defense of good government who have public forums for expressions. I’m particularly impressed with the courage of commissioner Maxwell to speak out against Robert Horgan. All other elected officials are too cowardly to stand up for ethics. When the voters go to the polls, they should remember to vote against incumbents who don’t stand up for right versus wrong. Right now Maxwell is the only one who should be re-elected in all of Fayette County. Vote out the silent majority of pro-dopers.

Slow your roll
Horgan has made nothing but good solid votes since he has been on the board. He has not cost this county a cent! Unlike Greg Dunn and Linda Wells who cost the county well over $500,000 in court and attorney fees suing Sheriff Johnson, with tax payers money. He helped get rid of the Fifth commissioner “McNally” and started an in house county attorney. He has not cost the county money like Harold Boost, past county commissioner who lied about his residency and was booted out of office and cost the county well over $100,000 dollars for a special election and we got Peter Phifier, need I say more. Have you people forgotten about this!! I saw in the new today where a county employee in Fairburn stole well over $30,000 dollars and they can’t do anything about it. He has not cost this county a cent. But if we get rid of him now it will cost the county over $100,000 dollars for a special election. That is tax payer’s money, that we do not have. Do you want to waste your money on this matter? May be we just need to keep a better eye on him. I like Maxwell but!! He sued the county over signs and the county lost and had to pay him over $20,000 dollars while he was in office as a commissioner. Slow you roll.

"$500 GROCERIES AT ANY GROCERY STORE! With any major transmission repair. Call For Details"

This was the offer I saw on the Citizen for Mr. Horgan's Mr Transmission. I wonder if he is willing to to extend that offer for votes of support? Or is he buying adds to purchase sympathetic support from the Citizen? Or does it make you wonder just how much a transmission repair is 'padded' in that it allows such an extreme giveaway to accompany a repair. Either way this voter sure feels like she is being taken advantage of by Mr. Horgan as a commissioner and a businessman.

What is that aromatic aroma that I smell when passing by Mr Transmission?

Then you wouldnt be so angry all the time. I mean you guys do live in Fayette right? Thats a good enough excuse to smoke

Wow this guy must be a dangerous felon... you guys want his head on a platter. So we have closet potheads, ex-hippies, moms, and dads that used to or still smoke pot demanding this guy loose his job.
Get real people... He hasn't put any one of you in danger. Leave him alone. Potheads are peaceful people. Leave them alone

Horgan will not step down, the man thinks he is above the law. Its a simple case of someone ( Horgan ) believes who can do anything to me? Unless the gov happens to gets involved, Horgan will play the game until the end... Horgan reminds me of another politican from the 90's Bill Clinton. Deny, deny, say your going to the peoples work, then hope the short attention span citiizens move onto something else.

Horgan do the right thing, time to man up...

As for Maxwell, what, it took you long enough to speak out. Maxwell like most of the commission should be looking over their collective shoulders as well.. We're watching the whole commission to see who steps up and who sits this one out...

As for the postings that the board could appointment someone,there is nothing in the rules that would allow for that to happen... Horgan is not close to his term being over as well, he was just elected in 2008...

Maybe if the economy wasn't in the news, and the way PTC and the other cities are handling their budgets , this matter might have been a one day story... But americans are tired of wasting money and time dealing with politicans who aren't interested in following the same laws we do everyday..

I still hold out hope for more charges against Mr Horgan, could a DUI charge still be forth coming? Since he admited he was smoking while operating his truck..

Horgan resign,its time...

Horgan is so late in his term that if he resigned the commission would appoint a replacement and that person would have an incumbent's advantage come November. So, who would they appoint? Sam Chapman? Steve Brown? Greg Dunn?

See why we should leave Horgan alone?

First, you need to learn how to spell. Git it?

Second, Nr. Horgan owns Mr. Transmission franchises not AAMCO franchises. Git it?

Third, "Smilin' Jack" should have initiated formal censure proceedings against Mr. Horgan when he found out the facts of the case. I suppose Smith needed Mr. Horgan's vote last night. Misdemeanor or not, Mr. Horgan was "ridin' high" in my neighborhood.

NOW DO YOU GET IT?

Thank you, Commissioner Maxwell, for asking Commissioner Horgan to resign. However, if you're really serious, why not ask the other Commissioners to censure him? While the Commissioners can't unilaterally remove Horgan, they must exhaust all administrative remedies they have available to them to get it done. The buck stops with Governor Perdue, who does have the necessary authority. The people have made it crystal clear that they do not want Horgan to remain. If you are for the people, you can't turn the matter loose until you've done all you can do to remove him, and that demands more than just asking for his resignation.

Thank you Commissioner Maxwell.

This is a great example of Jack Smith delegating to someone else the responsibility that is his as Commission Chairman. Step up for once "Smilin' Jack"!

The irony is I'm looking at Mr. Maxwell's picture with a big Mr. Transmission ad next to it. WHY did he wait until after the WFB vote?

I would have done this privately first. Hopefully, he did. Otherwise, it appears to be pandering to your audience...typical politician.

At least there was one among them!!

Thanks Eric!!

Spoken like a true politician Maxwell, I just hope you never get any kind of misdemeanor charge. We will ask you to resign. Better keep the speed down in your “I will sue white Corvette” How many attorney friends of your's that have received a misdemeanor did you ask them to resign from the bar? I bet Horgan is the only person you have asked to resign. All of your attorney friends do nothing wrong.

I really do not know much about Commissioner Maxwell but it is good to finally see a commissioner show some leadership on this issue. A Horgan resignation is the ONLY resolution that makes sense.

This is even making district voting an issue again and clouding the issue. I guess if he had been voted in by district voting it would be okay, at least that is what making it a factor implies. The old he may be a crook but at least he his our crook philosophy.

If he doesn't resign a countywide recall should be attempted and I believe should and would get support from all over the county.

HORGAN MUST GO NOW!!!!
