I have a feeling after the 2008 elections the Camden County Board of Commissioners will not look the same. D. Rainer, S. Berry, and P Rhodes probably will not be there. Camden County is starting to wake up and realize what these and 1 other one ( Charlene Sears) are doing to our county. They are self serving and have no place on this board.

Resident looks for change in county commission
Dear Editor,
I have gone to the attorney general and the Justice Department on behalf of the people of Camden County.Both offices have basically confirmed that if the people of Camden County want democracy they have to vote the county commissioners out of office who are not willing to give it to them. This is the only way to eliminate a sole individual from making the decision to solicit a preclearance and that same sole individual counts all of the votes.
The elected officials of Camden County have become so bold with their tactics that they are now holding "special elections" to increase the sales tax collected in Camden County without holding any public hearings.They were so outdone when the taxpayers were smart enough to freeze their property (assessment) taxes. So they came up with a Plan B. Although they currently have a SPLOST in place, they are holding a special election March 20 for another SPLOST. Vote no! They are counting on a low turnout. Take the time to vote no on March 20.The only way to prevent tactics such as this, is have the county commissioners to add to the budget the funding for a board of elections. Any county commissioner that has to be convinced to allow democracy in Camden County should be voted out of office.The chairman of the Camden County Republican Party announced that they support the implementation of a board of elections in Camden County.
This is not a black problem, a white problem, a Democrat problem or a Republican problem. This is everybody who lives in Camden County problems. If the county commissioners have to be convinced that this is a problem, we need to vote them out of office. They can no longer operate the way they did 50 years ago.

The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created." ***The views expressed on this blog are the opinions of the individual that wrote them.
