Cherokee BOC cuts ties to Tea Party group

From a Cherokee Tribune article dated February 9, 2012:

"The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has ended its relationship with a self-appointed citizens committee the board earlier agreed to partner with to find ways to cut county spending.

The commission voted unanimously at its meeting Tuesday to cut ties with the Review and Recommendations Committee to Assist County Government, which formed late last summer to offer ideas on how the government should spend taxpayer dollars.

The motion came after County Commission Chairman Buzz Ahrens expressed concerns about the committee’s direction. The issue was not on the agenda and came as a surprise to committee members."

"Carolyn Cosby, the chairwoman of the committee, said Tuesday after the meeting she was shocked by the commission’s decision and labeled the decision as “an insult to the citizens of this county.”

She also said she took the commission’s decision as the body declaring it doesn’t “want our spending agenda interrupted.”

“The Citizens’ Committee has been at odds with the commissioners almost from the beginning,” she said. “Ahrens has been highly critical of the committee and agreed to the formation of the committee only under citizen pressure.”

Cosby also took issue with Ahrens’ assertion that the committee’s sole focus was the ceasing of all parks bond spending.

Cosby said the committee “refuted” the parks bond initiative because it was just another “Washington-style, tax-and-spend policy.”

She also called parks bond spending as “optional” and said she believed it would have been best for the commission to hold off parks bond spending until the economy full recovers.

She said the committee had plans to discuss the county’s pension plan as well as land use as ways to reduce costs."

Why is Chip Rogers spreading John Birch conspiracy theories about the New World Order?

Wow!  Chip's really outdone himself now...

Going after "the destructive and insidious nature of the United Nations Agenda 21."
