When the chairman of the BOC makes a statement in the Forsyth County News that basically says, "When you've got your four votes, you don't need discussion", aren't you reminded of a Jack Conway moment?

Or both.

Why?

Because in the military, you never give up ground you have already won.

The only thing keeping the county from doing so on SPLOST right now is for city leaders to look a gift horse in the mouth. Pray for more galactic-sized stupidity. Please.
