How ironic...in a state controlled by Republicans at all levels of government, a voter referendum passed by republicans isn't supported by the majority of party leader. Question then becomes, why the heck is it even on the ballot.

Many people are claiming that there are no other options for funding road improvements, however, they could increase the gas tax or increase the income tax a fraction of a percent. But no, increasing taxes is bad. Let the people increase their own taxes instead.

Good ol' Chipper pulled a fast one! Pushing through the T-Splost, then when it receives a huge backlash, he claims that the DOT sent it. Hey idiot (you Mr Rogers)! The DOT doesn't pass bills or send us referendums - YOU DO! You did! Now, you're asking us to vote no - to vote against you.

You're a disgrace to public service, a half-truth teller (hotel/sports betting) and we'll all be better off when Mr. Beach represents us. Mainly because he is not you.

Looking forward to voting against you in July 31st.

Dems and Independents, you can vote on the Republican ballot in this primary since Georgia doesn't register voters by party. Just ask for the Republican ballot when you go vote.

If moderate Republicans, Democrats and Independents work together, we can vote Chip and his cronies out and save our schools from the for-profit charter school folks...Vote for Beach, Read, Cromer, and Jordan.

Vote for anyone BUT the liberal tax&spend, status-quo cronies Read, Jordan, & Cromer. They are Board Puppets and Dr P sycophants. They have no new ideas whatsoever and are consistent only in their insistence that none of 'em can do anything to rein in out-of-control CCSD spending. Higher Taxation for Cherokee County residents is their only plan. Many insiders close to Cromer know she is a stealth Planned Parenthood advocate, which is why she was asked that in the debate. Read's a dishonest candidate, claiming 're-elect' to a position she does not hold. Neither candidate cares a bit about our county's dismal HS 75% grad rate and neither has any idea nor interest in fixing this. They only care about shoveling more tax $$$ to Dr. P and his chauffeur.

Beach's main concerns are his hometown of Alpharetta and Fulton County. He cares not about Cherokee, thus his T-SPLOST advocacy, which will also net him millions in taxpayer profits.

Vote Rogers, Dukes, Cochran, and Marlow and run those liberal Democrat union loving thugs out of town!!

Yes,SD, much better to vote for Rogers' puppets. That's a MUCH better option, as we've seen with these many years of Chip's alleged representation of our district. (Please note the intense sarcasm).

And again with the PP issue? What in the sam hill does that have to do with a school board position? I have NEVER heard a whisper of anyone wanting to do anything regarding PP in the schools. ALTHOUGH, in my opinion, giving kids information and access to birth control is the ONLY way to break the cycle of poverty the comes with most teenage pregnancies. And before your head explodes, Steely, yes, I believe that the PARENTS should be the ones providing this information. Sadly, many don't or won't. As with so many other social ills- from healthy eating to dressing appropriately and on and on- it falls to the schools to step in and be parents when the parents abdicate their responsibilities. And then be crucified for doing it.

Wow...that list of who was surveyed was the "best and brightest" of Cherokee County. I am pretty sure one or two of those people are convicts. They might as well have asked Bill Dewrell and Robert Trim too.

So, you can't be a Republican and see that PP provides low income women access to healthcare. Wow, how big is that tent anyway? It is exactly that dogmatic, no room for differing opinions, "you must believe EVERYTHING we say" attitude of the GOP that revolts me. It makes it obvious that loyal member of the GOP do not want to think for themselves They want the Party to tell them what to think. Ever read "1984"? Put down "Atlas Shrugged" and take a look at what Orwell has to say about not thinking for yourself.

Do you honestly believe that EVERY member of the GOP is anti-abortion? I don't believe that any thinking person can be a member of any group and agree 100% with everything that group believes unless they are a sheep and just want to be told what to do. .

And while were traipsing down this primrose path, can we not get past the idea that all that PP does is abortions? Did you not learn anything from the Susan G. Komen fiasco? PP provides, to any woman but primarily to low income women who don't have insurance, breast exams, wellness exams, as well as birth control so that an abortion will NOT be necessary. Abortions are around 3% of the services PP provides. These services keep women healthy and prevent unwanted pregnancies that wind up costing all of us in welfare expenses. Seems like the GOP would be all for that, being as they are so big into "personal responsibility"- at least in theory.

Steely Dan it is really unfortunate that you have not researched these two candidates accurately. I find it incredibly irresponsible that you make these false accusations of Kyla Cromer based on a twisted question asked of her at her debate (to which her answer was clear, she does NOT believe PP has a place in our schools), I was there and it was not asked her position on the Right to Life issue (which she has clarified) . I have known Ms. Cromer and worked closely with her for MANY, MANY years. I have NEVER known her to be an advocate for Pro-Life nor a supporter of Planned Parenthood. I DO KNOW that she has continuously encouraged Cherokee county residents to SHOP CHEROKEE, she volunteers and advocates tirelessly for the children, students, future of our county and SHE voted AGAINST OBAMA AS A REPUBLICAN in our last Presidential election. Sources close to her opponent tell us Ms. Marlow did not...she committed the ultimate Republican No-No and helped put Obama in office, voting DEMOCRAT...checkthat out and GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT MR. DAN!

Steely...

1. Correct, you have NEVER known Cromer.
2. No, obviously voter records are NOT public record it was a statement made to an acquaintance years ago...guess officially a rumor. You understand those, I am sure!
3. Cromer campaign is extremely confident and tired of people like you trying to twist words and smear those who wish to serve the people, not themselves. It seems you are the desperate one.
4. I AM NOT FAT and MY real name is Anne, not Bettie.

Good Luck to your cause, I have more important work to do!! :)
