That's what kills me, people vote how they want. They complain about the people that represent them, yet they re-elect these jokers every time. Why do you keep putting the Skip Alstons and Billy Yow's of the world back in office, yet everyone is fed up with local government and such, do something about it. As for the bonds, let Greensboro go and flush a few more millions down the tube. Why not you people keep letting them have more money. Way to go!!!!!

The commissioners pull a fast one on voters. When the voters turn down the quarter-cent sales tax increase, comissioners felt that was the go ahead to raise the percentage on property taxes. They just don't get it. The vote against the sales tax was a vote against taxes, PERIOD. They didn't tell you that by NOT raising the sales tax, your property tax WOULD go up. We need to KICK THEM ALL TO THE CURB.

I agree with Dan the Man I too think we should kick them all to curb, not just here but all the way to DC. That is the only that we will ever get this country back on the track it should be on.
