I am disappointed by your assessment that the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t . I have taken time to know the three challengers and what they stand for. I can assure you they are the furthest thing from being the devil. If responsible growth and representing the people of the County is bad then by all means support the incumbents.

I am surprised there is no mention of the fear tactics used by the incumbents showing the Portland OR riots inferring it could happen here is an embarrassment.

Incumbents are tightly in the pocket of the developers and if you are ok with that then continue to support. I for one am ready for a change. I for one am in favor of someone questioning the direction and not afraid to stand up for the people of Sumter County.
So is the newspaper. A large part of the controversy here about entertainment, is that the facts are gray, nebulous. A truly free press and other media COULD help greatly to allow more people to have more INFORMED opinions and to make better decisions.
