Maybe if the Democrat commissioners actually paid attention to where the money was going, instead of turning their back on the spending, this county wouldn't be in the situation we're in. Take a look, the county has been in this downfall since the Democrats took majority in this county.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087256805680013672.post-77517835904585908442009-01-11T13:09:00.000-05:002009-01-11T13:09:00.000-05:00The only behavior that has been disgrace to Stark ...The only behavior that has been disgrace to Stark County is the self serving actions of many of past and current GOP state office holders that has placed this community in the position we now find us all in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087256805680013672.post-73963785073121939952009-01-11T00:03:00.000-05:002009-01-11T00:03:00.000-05:00Swanson is a pompous, arrogant jerk.

He is hired by the taxpayers of this County, and his despicable behavior and treatment of taxpayers that have a different opinion than him reminds one of some hillbilly bumpkin Sheriff from some 2-bit West Virginia County. <BR/><BR/>How dare voters express the opinion that we should actually be able to vote on a tax, rather than have it foisted upon us by "all knowing wise ones". I don't care how much Swanson wants the tax and sees the need for the tax....go out and make an articulate, persuasive case for one...don't kick and scream and throw 2nd grade insults.<BR/><BR/>He and his infantile behavior is a disgrace to Stark County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087256805680013672.post-74264294338223335462009-01-09T16:56:00.000-05:002009-01-09T16:56:00.000-05:00You can take it to the bank when Swanson tells you...You can take it to the bank when Swanson tells you something.

He thinks he's owed the extra money this tax will bring in. If he would run his department properly, he would be able to afford to put more deputies on the road. Do we really need the large 'front office' administration that he does? No! Road deputies should come first, then staff the jail. Correctional officers can always be contracted out at a cheaper rate, therefore, putting those deputies, who are stuck in the jail, back where they belong---on the road!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087256805680013672.post-57176425596331510692009-01-08T11:26:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:26:00.000-05:00It is about time someone tells it like it really i...It is about time someone tells it like it really is.
