It is time to put aside color issues and vote for peopple against
property tax hikes. Anyone currently in office that supports such
action as a property tax hike needs to go, period. The local
government needs to know where the citizens stand and I don't
know anyone in favor of property tax hikes except for the
politicans that are not being responsible to the voters that put
them in office. It is time to hold politicans accountable for their
voting on issues. Out with the old and in with the new! Maybe
we can get someone with enough backbone to fire Fred Russell
and his ever expanding budget. We need someone to get rid
of dead weight which is 30% of those working for Richmond County. Wake up, Augusta1
