And the hits just keep on coming. I guess I should have waited a day and said there have been three opinion letters in the Gainesville Times that do not paint a very nice picture of some of the Hall County Commissioners. You can read this here. This falls in line with yesterday’s blog.

Wow. Two opinion letters make it in the Gainesville Times within a week and neither paint a very good picture of some of the members of the Hall County Commissioners. You can see here and here. Just scroll down a bit on each and see the wonderful information. Here is an article about the mentioned company one of the opinion letters and one in the paper today.

I do not have a problem with elected officials making money. They have a family to feed too. I do have a problem with elected officials who may use privileged information to make money.

That is why I promised not to own any other property within the city, other than my home, because that is a requirement to be a city councilman.

Well, I may know a thing or two about some elected officials myself or not! Time will tell!!

Well I believe I have grasped my new duties at work and look forward to the new challenges I face performing them. I believe now I will be able to get back to putting my thoughts down for you to read. I truly apologize.

Wednesday is our next council meeting and the agenda seems light.

One item is repealing the bond requirement of a 20% increase in the water and sewer rates for those who use Flowery Branch water and/or sewer. I hope this allows the city to get rid of the stupid inside and new inside residential rates based on when you moved into the city. Oh, by the way – the date is June 2000 and previous councils, have protected, or saved, certain users who are some of the largest users large sums of money, set that date. Well, I cannot wait until the day I can be part of correcting this very, very, very wrong plan.

Well today is the Daytona 500 and I am stoked and will be waiting for the “Big One”
