Public Comment Is Back

Commissioners vote 2 to 1 to put public comment back on the agenda.
You can speak on any item only if it is on the agenda. Well that
makes sense, don't it ? Now lets move on to more important things
like Reducing the budget and cutting my property tax, spur economic
growth, and reducing the size of Government. That might mean cutting
some county jobs.

  1. AMEN!! It seems we can get along without a county Judge, and we've been without a Tax Collector for over a year. I've been told we don't really need a Treasurer. We could probably get by with half the JP's and Constables. There's not enough crime in the county to justify so many Sheriffs Deputies and a Jail the size of a Piggly Wiggly store. That would be a good start to making County Government smaller.

  2. Crabtree abstained and said, "I'm going to let the new guys decide this." I guess we can do without him too.

  3. He's always been the 'logjam' on the court, not Crittenden. Crittenden was the only one to question any items on the packet that they receive the afternoon before their meetings. The others never ask questions. Unbelievable! Glad we have new blood and new ideas. Just what we need in Upshur County.

  4. The jail might be big enough if we lock up all the elected "Criminals".

  5. Give'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves! Be patient and you will see ropes hanging from trees all around Upshur County. I believe, I believe, I believe. The 'good ole boy's' have come to the end of their ropes.

  6. New Blood!! Hefners in the office about as much as Fergie was. He's out doing his other job ... Roofing!

  7. We all should keep our "day jobs". That includes the commissioners. Especially, when some people questions the hours per day that they are actually doing their job and not in their offices. Come on you 46% illiterates of Upshur County, they are always on call from any constituent that calls them; people do call them anytime, night or day, and expect to get them on the phone or for them to call them back immediately! Well, do you call everyone back immediately when you get a call or do you go down the list returning the first come first called? It's only fair, but your call may have been way down the list. Until, you have been a commissioner, don't tell them how to run their office. If you are not part of solving the problems of Upshur County, then, you are part of the problem! Enough said...
