Selfish commissioners forgetting constituents

The Democrats on the Board of County Commissioners have done citizens of this county a great injustice. Residents of all races must realize they do not have us in their best interest but are using us to give themselves obscene raises and to fund self-serving projects. They knew what the job paid when they ran for the office they are now making a mockery of. People on Social Security mean nothing to them. They have guaranteed our property taxes will be raised for the next several years because of their foolish, irresponsible selfishness.

Read everything you can to help understand the bad decisions they have made against the advice of the County Finance Department. A red flag should be raised when an elected official has the gall to ignore the wishes of his or her electors and proceeds to fulfill whims. I don't appreciate the vast number of hands in my pocket.

Let's be better informed so we can elect commissioners who won't let the "stress" get to them and who expect a whopping increase and trips to Hawaii so they can relax and laugh at the people who elected and trusted them.

It may be far more subtle than we realize. Bug-eyed people like Skip look like their awareness is on a higher plane, it's hard to say no to them.
