The electionI have been trying to look into various issues to determine who to vote for, primarily in the commission election. I'm leaning toward Dunn & Wells and have not found any reason to change at this point. Most of what I see in these blogs is personal - Eric is a nice guy. Greg is a mudslinger-emperor, etc. Well, I'm not voting for someone to be my friend. It doesn't really matter to me whether they are a nice guy or not. Of course I want someone respectable - I'm looking for leaders who will look after and act in our best interest as a county. After looking back over various issues I can find no fault in anything that has been done by the current commissioners. No, I don't agree with everything, but for the most part they have done a great job. As far as issues go, I don't understand why the subject of double taxation for EMS services seems to be blamed on the commissioners. From what I understand, Fayette County originally provided all of the services for the entire county. At a later date Peachtree City decided that they wanted their own department. In my view, the issue of double taxation should have been addressed BEFORE Peachtree City set up their own department. All of these years both the county and the city have been providing services. Now, all of a sudden, it is a huge issue that must be resolved immediately and it is the commissioners who are trying to take advantage of PTC. I don't think so! the weasel's blog | login to post comments |
