CTLAC attacks CRC initiative for at-large seats

It appears members of CTLAC are out to undo what voters elected in Nov. '06: to add two at-large seats.

That's pretty ironic since members of the group pled with the CRC to keep the five-single districts. Which we did. They argued that voters had overwhelmingly chosen five-single districts from their initiative and to change so soon was to undermine what the electors had done. We didn't change anything. We added two at-large seats.

Well now, if the shoe isn't on the other foot. We haven't even had an election of those commissioners and they're out trying to tell you that you didn't know what you voted for when you voted for the 5-2.

It's assinine to go back. It's another herring members of CTLAC are throwing the voters of Clay County.

They will tell you (in front of Publix or Wal Mart) that the BCC is only one ordinance away fromĀ giving the Chairman veto power.

Don't believe if for a moment. Any additional powers must be amended through a charter referendum. Period. The BCC could move a referendum to ballot but ultimately, you the voter would have to decide. Not the BCC. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric.

It's crazy to go back. Move forward Clay County. Move forward.
