This article highlights the chaos that can reign when the politicians embark on a plan to squelch opposition, but fail to make sure that they’re all on the same page:
While two Lumpkin County commissioners are under the impression that petitions not following the county’s form will not be accepted, two believe they will be, and board chair “Dr.” John Raber said it was never alleged they wouldn’t be.

Yet there would be one petition I’d be happy to sign my sloppy signature on. That would be a petition that petitions the county’s new petition policy. Yes, the time has come to petition the new petitions. Continue reading »
