I noticed that you failed to mention the fact that there will be a proposal on the ballot to increase taxes via a local sales tax. Why did you leave this important information out? Every Gordon County citizen should make it a point to vote no in this election.

This is NOT just an election for the purpose of selecting city offices!

what a joke. I'm still mad that this guy's son bashed in my neighbor's mailbox and then laughed about it all over town. Surely people see him as a loud mouthed immature fraggle. Not somebody I'd want running the schools.
