It's not a rumor. Oren stated he would not vote to continue to fund Entertainment on the Square.

I have no issue with any of the EMS team. I honestly believe they want to do what they feel feel is right for the residents to Sumter County.

I have to vote for the candidates that I feel will make the best decisions for Sumter County.

The fact that Oren Miller said he would vote to not continue to fund square Entertainment from the hotel tax concerns me. The money is there and has to be used to promote tourism. I think square entertainment promotes tourism and is a huge boost to the merchants and restaurants in the square. It makes me question Oren's priorities.

I'm not holding on to any rope, Angie. I'm looking at a candidate's position on his spending priorities.

How is pointing out a candidate's position on a topic an election ploy?

You're frustrated because Oren took a position that is unpopular with many residents. Now you're trying to do damage control.
