Jim Luke or Sara Bell, what a choice, I guess Jim was the least of two evils

Sarah was the only BOC candidate who was against the TSPLOST. I voted for her. She may not be perfect but she obviously wants to stop the runaway beast. She seems to be for personal responsibility too, which I really like. Oh well, I tried.
A toast to David Anglin (non-partisan), a darn good man and a credit to Oconee County.

Imagine that! A mockery of a representative calling an issue a mockery! How much of his outrageousRead More salary and benefit package is he willing to give up? And what he calls fact is seriously distorted information. Good leaders don't run and hide from an issue and then blame others for their shortcomings... I realize good leaders are hard to find.... but, why do we continue to tolerate mediocrity? A vacant seat would be just as effective as this congressman... actually, as I think about it, probably more effective.
