Unfortunately, I wasn't doing the interviews back then.

Interesting that you make the comment. Based on the poor turnout to the Budget Workshop that was held yesterday, no one appears interested in getting the 25% increase rolled back, including the 3 county commissioners that campaigned so hard against it and promised to roll it back. Reality sucks when you must make the tough decisions on what to cut from the budget, something these 3 have no backbone for.

I wonder if any of the 3 will have the integrity to standup and say publicly that they were "wrong", they had no idea what they were talking about, and that they cannot deliver on their campaign rhetoric. I doubt it.

I made it a point not to take sides during the video, my agenda is to educate with factual information not my personal opinions (a bit of old school journalism), it's about the facts, not about me and what I think or feel.

However, in an open forum like this I have no problem expressing my displeasure with some members of the current BOCC. The newly elected commissioners have proven themselves to Masters of Manipulating Social Media and tax-and-spend democrats, nothing more. What have any of them done since being in office to improve the lives of anyone or business environment in Sumter County? I've seen nothing, I expect even less in the future.
