You’re still talking about what you consider wrong doing on the part of the county government, not under his power — unless you are thinking he should use back door connections to help you, but that would be cronyism, good old boy network. The very thing folks keep pretending they dislike.

I would think the proper channel would be to let our county commissioner know as well as the state’s attorney if you think they have done anything wrong.

I could be wrong, it just seems reasonable to talk to the ones actually involved in such things. Otherwise, why not just send President Obama an email about the matter with much greater detail than you‘ve given here? It doesn’t come under his jurisdiction either, but they would surely listen to him if he spoke to them.

Now if you are saying the county should maintain your private road for you, they may not choose to do so. Of course, I may be misunderstanding, though.

So the complaint is that the state senator didn’t interfere with county government?

Per: David Green. The issue in question is a road that in part is the Countys,per a legal document that states the road in question is County maintained. but the County changed the document to show that the road is not County maintained.if they can do this and get away with it we are all in trouble.Per Mr.Evers the County,State,Goverment can do it any time they want with no recourse, but as for you or me we would be punished and fined. now the County ,State,and Goverment is supposed to answer to the PEOPLE. (all elected officials need to be heale acountable)…..why pay full property TAXES, if per the County we get NO services.

REGARDING:
“I have dealt with Greg Evers for about 5 months and he has done nothing for the situation, ”

It might help to explain what the situation is which Evers is supposed to address.

REGARDING:
“Its a fact that if someone remains in office for several terms, they get in the pockets of the good ole boys.”

It is true that they tend to get in the pockets of moneyed interests but they ARE limited by our willingness to vote for them. They aren’t elected by money but by our votes. Money helps them advertise themselves but if what they’re selling isn’t what we want, all the advertising in the world won’t save them.

Us individually limiting their service by not voting for them when they cease to serve us makes more sense than saying we can not put in office those we favor because they have served too long. It means we think voters are too stupid to vote correctly so we must take away their options from them for their own good. This is especially so since we are them, we are the people we are trying to protect ourselves from. It’s like saying, “Since I eat too much sugar, we must outlaw all sugar.”

To be honest, newcomers are more likely to be swayed by the money available for voting certain ways than folks who’ve been in there a while.

For informed voting, we need the amount each donor/briber gave them and how they voted on matters related to those donor/bribers. That way we could keep the faithful and cast out the crooked.

We have NO term limits. Its a fact that if someone remains in office for several terms, they get in the pockets of the good ole boys. And then some begain to think they own everything and forget about the tax payers that pays them.

REGARDING:
“We all need term limits”

We HAVE term limits. Every politician is out at the end of his or her term unless the voterd opt to put him or her back in. If a person is faithfully and knowledgeably serving the people, removal to be replaced with a questionable replacement would be unwise. Definite ouster might even encourage the incumbent to line his or her nest as quickly as possible since the end was in sight regardless of how the job was performed.

David for responsible voters
voting responsibly
