Bost is quoted as saying

the candidate for Post 3 must "reflect" his

"views." Based on his past performance and the

belligerent attitude he has expressed to the public,

Bost's views are nothing to heed at all. His main views

are to spend millions of tax dollars on a jail that is

capable of housing 853 prisoners and an unneeded

three-story courthouse. He has no interest in listening

to the public's views at all. After helping to create a

traffic nightmare, he suddenly expresses that we have a

major traffic problem in Fayette County. No kidding! Duh!

Bost's solution is to build a bypass around Fayetteville

that will cost millions of dollars.

He plans to qualify for the

commission but "may" drop out if someone who

satisfies his needs runs. Must be nice to have plenty of

funds to just waste.

The voters have a chance to

start a thorough cleaning of the commission with three

seats coming open. Next time, we get to complete the

cleaning with the other two seats. Obviously, Bost thinks

the voters have forgotten that he is guilty of violating

Georgia Code 50-14-1, the open meetings law. Do we want

law breakers conducting the county business? Do we want

them hiding behind closed doors? Absolutely not!

Please do not forget that

all five sitting commissioners violated, by their own

admission, this law in March 1999. Also, please do not

forget that Solicitor Steve Harris refused to prosecute

these commissioners. I am wondering if Harris took an

oath to prosecute all who violate the laws.

Georgia code 45-10-1, Code

of Ethics for Government Service, states as follows:

"Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary,

each member of all boards, commissions, and authorities

created by general statute shall: (1) Uphold the

Constitution, laws and regulations of the United States,

the State of Georgia, and all governments therein and

never be a party to their evasion." It also states

that they shall "never engage in other conduct which

is unbecoming to a member or which constitutes a breach

of public trust."

We either vote them out or

let them continue to do as they please with total

disregard for the public's view. Get them out now or

suffer the consequences.
