election board a done deal...

both barnesville and milner have signed on. county is expected to give final approval tuesday night.

the initial board budget is $44,500. lamar county, barnesville, milner and the two major political parties will each get one appointment to the five-member board. terms will be staggered. board members will be paid $100 per month.

the board will run county and municipal elections and handle voter registration, campaign contribution reporting, etc.

Walter,

You have come out on top against the other blog with no competition. You can not longer read Williams's blog and he doesn't monitors posts and only let them ones which are not derogatory to him pass inspection. I would guess this is the so called "freedom of speech" he advocates.

Again Walter, you have done a great job with your blog and has interesting topics.

I agree my blog was deleted by him and I asked why several times but he would not respond to me, I just wanted to know why.

I remember you asking anon 6:50AM and receiving no reply.

I tried to tell him that changes are not always for the better and he would never post it.

Oh well! Just stay off of his blog and don't even bother to read it. Walter has started with the most up todate news posting.

Back to the Topic. I thought the election board would save money for the taxpayers, and already they have spent over $40,000 and have done nothing. Politics here seem to only be self serving and nothing else.

I hope the board will be wise enough to eliminate old T Street Barracks as part of their reporte
and use perhaps some of the old Barnesville Academy area, or the Tax office which has two vacant offices in it. T Street is not needed, in my opinion. The High Price is not worth it either, since the renovation cost would be enormous.
