The problem is that we have a liberal "tax and spend" county manager, and a pathetic yes man county commission chairman, Frankie Waters who eats out of his hand, coupled with two Democrats who are also tax and spend lefties. I would have thought that Randy Walker and John Rebholz were smarter than to fall in with Waters, but apparently not.

If you look at Frankie Waters history, he was the former chairman of the old Tri-County Telephone who ran it into the ground, where it had to be sold off to an outfit from the western part of the state. Having our county finances controlled by a leftist career bureaucrat, Alligood, and a financial failure like Waters is a recipe for disaster. Career bureaucrat Jerry Langley is the third major force in running county govenrment, and he is an ideological tax and spender, very much to the left.

CT you are so right.
Media outlets covering a recently-published study claiming to show the harmful effects of gas stoves this past week failed to note that the study was primarily funded by a China-linked climate group. dailycaller.com

To what end? Why would the government, made up of elected people from the community, want to Destry that community? Why?

Frankenmeat, just what the globalists push for the masses, but it is doubtful any of them would eat this junk. They also want us to eat bugs and worms. It is high time to defeat the globalist menace.

They admitted to election interference and trying to over throw the executive branch of govt with their plan and still not a bit of accountability. They are not even being charged with the crimes they committed.
If they will do all that to a person running for president, elected president how much more easily would they do that to any one of us.
It is sickening to see what our govt. has become.
Sad thing is I don't see it getting any better only worse.

What a denier you are, Bolshevik Bob. A guy is arrested for arson in starting the wildfire and you still want to say it is lightning? Actually, according to the National Forest Service, the vast majority of wildfires, 85% are caused by humans, not natural causes.

Was MLK acceptable? Was his movement worth support? If so tell us how you supported MLK?

Back in the day, people like you called MLK a marxist and much, much worse. How about just admitting blacks have been treated like crap and pledge to do better?

ERIC is a creation of George Soros and used by far left groups to register Democrat voters. This Dr. Andy Jackson is one who promoted it last year.

No Countrygirl1411, they are not concerned with such.

They believe your obligation is to their "Police Power," and you should well abide ... unless you are one of their known constituents, then they will work with you.

You, Countrygirl1411, most probably are not so lucky.
