Cobb County Screwups

2-17-2011:  How about the Cobb County School Board - it seem to have a bunch of goofballs on the board who argue with themselves more than sticking to facts and voting for what is best for students - frankly, I am surprised the Cobb County School Board has not been placed on probation since their antics seem just as crucial as Clayton County's School Board. And David Banks keeps asking parents for input and put no fact on the table - just like a politician and not a leader!

Well, the 12-5-2010 AJC reported that Cobb County Water System spent tens of millions of dollars from the money collected by the water system on non water system related ways even after water rates have increased 60% since the 1990s.  An apparent "shell" game by moving the storm water management and solid waste management divisions into the water systems and using their bond money.

Another screwup - Cobb's compost facility.

Another screwup - the laptop fiasco from the County school board.

Another - inattention to underground storm water pipes.

Another - building an expensive courthouse to make life more comfortable for the courthouse workers - priceless.

Every time we give our hard earned money to our government, they will spend it for "their" needs first.  Courthouses are important, but who watches the cost and spends "only" enough as necessary to have a building with lights and heat and places to try criminals when we ignorantly hand over our sales tax revenue without any accountability?

Hey - we are in the middle of an ice storm/snow storm - at least they shut the County Government down - that means they can't screw up today!
