I don't believe you can pave your way out of congestion, Pete Liakakis does.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking.<BR/><BR/>John McMastersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224918263311594458.post-79779615392558870692008-08-18T15:15:00.000-07:002008-08-18T15:15:00.000-07:00"Pete has matured quite a bit" - that has to be th..."Pete has matured quite a bit" - that has to be the biggest understatement of the century!

Fixing pot holes and doing small favors does not a leader make.<BR/><BR/>You have little imagination and less good public policy to show for your 4 years as chairman. The tax allocations district you supported for the area surrounding Savannah River landing was nothing more than corporate welfare. You raised taxes and then protest it was my fault? <BR/><BR/>Will you vote again, or not, to raise taxes next year? I promise not to, what's your answer?<BR/><BR/>John McMastersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224918263311594458.post-64768052706747846342008-08-15T09:44:00.000-07:002008-08-15T09:44:00.000-07:00With all this talk of party politics it is nice to...With all this talk of party politics it is nice to know one individual that can truly cross party lines and bring everyone together...

Once he one that BIG victory, by 10 votes, over Gordon Varnadoe, he acted as if he had received a mandate from the people to change the course of western civilization. Johnny, let's face it you got lucky and a few years later you got your butt kicked when you were thrown out of office. Johnny Mac was born naked into the world and inherited everything he owns. <BR/>VOTE LIAKAKIS! and send Johnny Mac packing back to Calf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
