Since Cobb County is such a wonderful place and they seem to do everything the way you like it--why are you living in Paulding????

 

I am no longer living in Paulding. I moved to Bartow 1 year ago this month.

I had a piece of crap neighbor, aka animal killer, drug addict, alcoholic, that shot at me, in my own front yard. It took 2 years to get him to court. He was convicted of 4 felonies, 6 misdemeamors and he got freeking HOUSE ARREST! Wow! That made me feel a LOT safer. TIME TO GET THE HECK OUTTA there.

 

I still love Paulding and always will. Like I said, my whole family has roots here. My grand-mother was a nurse (head nurse) at Paulding Hospital for many years. I am very attached to Paulding. I even raised my children here. One still lives here with my grand-children.

 

But ,I have HAD it with the way the county is run. I hope someday it will change, but as long as you have new-commers that believe the lies and old-timer that still elect the good 'ol boys, it won't.

 

Thanks for asking.

I voted early, and I voted NO on all the amendments, NO on SPLOST and I voted for Roy Barnes.

You are right. But it seems like the Paulding County Board of Education has become co-dependant. The more we give the more they want. Maybe they should do like the rest of us and learn to live with

I get what you're saying, BMR, but I think any American citizen can (and should) be proud of his or her vote, no matter how they voted. It is one of the most precious rights and privileges we hold.

 

You're absolutely right.

You are right but you must do it with dignity.

I'm very close to deciding NOT to vote Governor cause I don't want to vote Deal. :-( I refuse to vote for Deal just because he's Rep. I don't like him.

 

I'm unsure about SPLOST and I am voting "NO" on Amendment 1.

 

Yea, I usually vote Republican, but I think I'm going to vote for Monds in protest.

 

Then no matter if Deal or Roy wins, I can complain saying *I* didn't vote for him!!

 

:)

 

Yes to SPLOST at this time, for me at least, the property tax cut is worth it.

 

I'm pretty much voting "NO" to all the amendments. Until they are up front and write the blasted things in English, I don't trust them.

I received an email explaining amendment one. If indeed the explanation is correct it is giving some teeth to no compete clauses that some employers require employees to sign. Since Georgia is a "right to work" state, the no compete clauses will not hold up in court as of now.

 

If our lawmakers were actually working for us, this amendment would never have made it to the ballot. This is absolute BS and the people in the legislature that got this on the ballot should be fired.

Amendment 1 is absolutely wrong. The part that discusses the no competition aspect is buried in a bill that will go into effect if the amendment passes. Our representatives worded it in a deceitful manner and hid it in legislation that no one knows about hoping that it would pass.

I agree with you on this one. I don't think changing the Constitution is a good idea as a rule. I voted no on all of the amendments.

I find it interesting that the poll indicates republican wins in all races EXCEPT the district 19 house of reps race.

 

Reckon why dat is??

 

Because Paulette Braddock refused to debate for the Paulding County citizens on 3 different occasions and people are tired of her not be accessible, with her cruise last week to the Caribbean and all.

It was a short cruise. Maybe on Alatoona or Lanier. She was seen on her road, Quail Hollow, the night after the Chamber event, and she gave a phone interview with Galloway from the AJC the morning of the event. I think that may have been an itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny white lie on Paulette's part that she could not attend because of her cruise.

 

I think her plan is just to lay-low, and let the "R" beside her name try to win it for her, lack of substance, character, or any other issues.

FYI- She was also at her 25th High School reunion this past Saturday evening.

I couldn't participate in the poll because I was unable to answer all the questions about who I am voting for.

 

I do however intend to vote YES on SPLOST. I have to say had I made my decision just on what was being said on P.com I may have voted NO but I attended two meeting where it was presented and discussed and I feel like it is a no-brainer.

Thank you, I hope a lot of other voters see it this way.
