*Voting or Not Voting Has Consequences.*
Do you like the “consequences” of our past elections?
Bock, Stewart, and Petty run on a platform of â”Common Sense” government. By that they mean abandonment of the responsibilities of good governance for the community of citizens in Chatham County. To hold to their theoretical beliefs they refused to maintain the normal cycle of property evaluation for taxing purposes. They say that they did not raise taxes – knowing full well that they will be required by law to do it after the election. Taxes provide citizen services. Voting – or Not Voting – Has Consequences.
They talk about the rights of private property. But they do not sort out through good governance which person will have these “rights†within our community of citizens. Thus in one example a “private property rights†person bought land for a gun range and put the “private property rights†of a multitude of his neighbors at risk from all the loud noise. The gun range owner will damage by thousands of dollars the property value of other citizens. Is this “Common Sense†government? You might ask, WHOSE common sense?
Voting – or Not Voting – Has Consequences.
Do your homework. Don’t be tricked by slick misdirection.
Each one of us is personally experiencing multiple consequences.
There are many more examples…

Jim Crawford, Diana Hales, and Karen Howard provide a breath of fresh air!
