Democrats = Tax Increase * infinity. Do you see the proof now with the Gainesville School Board?
I guess the old addage that absolute power corrupts absolutely is at play in our small town. The quarter-million-dollar man and his handlers appear to think that they are above reproach. Way to go Carl Rogers for reminding the city school board that they can all be “fired” in February when the General Assembly gets in session if they don’t get their act together. Do we really want to be put in the same pot with Clayton County? Do we want to lose accredidation? Don’t we deserve more for our money? Ballew and his crowd don’t think anything can happen to them. They now know differently.
How many weeks have we gone now without an answer to the question of the missing money? The only answer we get is that taxes have to be increased, but no idea where the money went or where it is going to go. Ballew might as well have taken the 5th Amendment when he gave The Times an interview. He SHOULD have had a lawyer before he did that.

Why is is that none of the yard signs for Democrats say “Democrat” on them. Not just in Hall County, but in my travels around the state. If you are not proud enough to put Democrat on your sign you need to change parties. If you are liberal then you should trumpet it to the world! Don’t hide your tax-and-spend light in a basket! Let it shine.
We welcome all reformed Democrats in the Hall County Republican Party. We have a tent that is big enough for everyone. But in our tent you have to order from our menu. And bigger government, more taxes, more services, and more regulations are things that ARE NOT on the menu.
UPDATE: While in Atlanta I saw some yard signs and one door sign that actually had the “D” word on it. Clayton County DA is one I recall. And I saw some dude running for Senate on TV proudly touting that he was a Democrat and that he would help the middle class. How? By raising taxes on the “rich” I suppose. Oops. To the Democrats “the rich” is anyone who actually pays taxes. I don’t think that will help the “middle class” much, do you? Playing the definition game got the Democrats where they are today.
…and I want Larry to have it too! In fact, I only supported the added 3rd State Court Judge because I felt that Larry would be a great addition to the bench. Remember that I got started in party politics with a desire to run AGAINST Larry for the Solicitor position. I decided that he would do such a great job that I did not run against him. I was right. He has done an outstanding job as solicitor. I feel that he has the proper education, intelligence, personality, and temperament to make a fine judge in any Court. Larry’s personality and dilligence will compliment Judge Gene Roberts’ style.
I encourage each of you to submit a letter supporting Larry to the Judicial Nominating Commission, Michael J. Bowers, Chairman, by mail to 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., NW, Suite 700, Atlanta, GA 30308, by fax to 1-866-547-3433 or by email to bwatson@balch.com. If you would like, also send a copy of your letter to me. Click on the link to the right to get my contact information.
