Awesome

I completely missed this the first time around ...

The Athens Banner-Herald’s Adam Thompson reports that the public vote, which was 4-1 in favor of more taxpayer money in their pockets, was held “at Smith’s urging.” However, Peach Pundit has learned that the public vote was not taken at Smith’s specific urging, but as a last-ditch effort to convince the Representative to carry legislation he had repeatedly advised board members against proposing.

Awesome. Again, if David Weeks is arguing it's 'not about the money' then why in the world is the Oconee County Board of Education literally begging Rep. Bob Smith to let them take more money from local taxpayers during a rather dismal economy?

It's probably a bit harsh, but coming on the heels of the fiasco involving Tom Dohrmann and then the stunning lack of attention paid to the Brian Dickens affair, why shouldn't these folks be recalled?
