Forget the economy, liberate Union County residents pronto!
North Georgia county toils under the thumb of a cruel dictator.
In case you haven’t been following the news, Georgia cities and counties are mighty pissed at Gov. Sonny Perdue because he cut a homeowner property-tax credit from the state budgets for the next, uhm, forever. Perdue says these Roy Barnes-created grants cost the state $428 million each year and haven’t lowered property taxes as they were originally intended.
Yesterday, Perdue told a group of county commissioners as such. Insider Advantage’s Dick Pettys was in attendance and captured the reactions of some county commissioner-folk.
Lamar Paris, sole commissioner of Union County, said, “We’re just all going to have to go through and just cut the guts out of our county government ...”
Wow, that’s a good quote. Very telling, kind of ominous, sounds like ... WAIT! Holy shit. Lamar Paris is the sole commissioner of Union County? Brothers and sisters to the north, we will save you from this dictator!
