    Irresponsible Idiots. If you are going to fight to keep my county disconnected from the rest of the region, you'd better hurry and start passing stuff that makes it compete better instead - but you never will.
    You need to get up to speed? Were you not paying attention when you were running for your seats? Are you admitting you are unqualified and uneducated about how the county works with other jurisdictions? Why did you run again?
