Hold up John G...in all fairness, the BCC did do their job the first time this was brought before the board, with the EXCEPTION of C. Jones who ducked out on her own constituents. People (mostly in Sowal) did not like the outcome and back before the board it came.
How many times does the BCC have to recycle old issues they have already voted on because someone has their shorts in a wad over a vote?
This should have gone on the ballot the first time and this discussion wouldn't exist.
You are very correct about C. Jones ducking out on the last go around. Good point, not to be overlooked.
I think the BCC not voting on this is simply a way to not upset their constituents while also dodging the criticism of those looking to have it removed. Its a political move to preserve their standing (for the time being).
If the issue went to the ballot (referendum) the first go around, it would have most likely failed by a large % (let the flag remain).
That would not have solved anything as the issue would come up again, just in another forum, possibly via a civil law suit. This is just another delay in the inevitable of what's to come.
I am not for or against this issue, but I'll have to make a decision at some point, as we (voters) all will, in November. I thought the debate had at yesterday's meeting was very, very interesting and look forward to hearing more the next meeting date. I much prefer educated and well spoken people presenting factual information, like both sides did yesterday. I learned a lot, just as I did with your photos that were posted, but no longer remain...
