Prior to the early 90's and the new home rule by the people, the BCC would have never considered a decision like the one teus refusing to honor the will of the people. We have unwittingly gave all our power away for good sounding phraises like " home rule " and "remove the politics ". Here we sit with a gov. totaly out of controll and a mew chairman post with only one candidate. We certainly did take out the politics. I urge every voter to make an effort to find and sign the petition even if you are going to vote against it. We still need some candidates in a couple of slots.
