 If I were a county commissioner I would vote against any project proposal that did not reduce the tax burden on the people of Madison county. First I would start with the road dept. Its nice to have a new machine to operate all the time. And to be able to go home as clean as you left. I would like to see the county workers actually get dirty. To operate machine that are not so expensive. I know they are on a lease plan. But give us tax payers a break. Go and down size a little. Heck the workers leave the county camp to go to their place of work and when they arrive crank up the machines and stand around them for an hour. Hey If I was a county commiss :'(ioner i would visit each site and see what work was going on. But you would have to care about the citizens of the county.

Go watch the videos from the latest County Commissioners meeting to see what the meetings are like. I have 8 of them posted. It looks like it will be 11 videos by the time I'm done. madisonvideos.net/County.html |

wow - a county commissioner visiting a work site. What a novel idea. We have lots of departments in this county and I am sure that most could operate with a smaller staff and the work would still be done. We have all seen our share of workers standing around doing nothing but collect their pay but then you can see that in a city of county commission meeting also.

well if I ran for county commissioner I would probably be put on rail and run out of county. I would recieve 0 votes because i want things done to help madison county and its citizens.That means all not just a few who own the county.

The way to stop the waste in the county is to Sub it out to the private contractors
They will sent out one man where the county sends out 4 or 5 to do the job

I am not sure I would want to see Madison County sub out any work - I can see Madison County subbing this work out to a private contractor - paying more than the costs are today and probably giving the business to one of their friends or family. They would probably do this in a meeting, where it was not on the agenda, and not take any bids and if they ever did take bids they would not necessary select the lowest bid.

I would like to see them SUB, only if they did DUE DILIGENCE, which is what they don't do. |

"War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength', George Orwell, book 1984. Sound familiar, the couty commission, does not represent you, they represent "The Party", hmmm sound familiar it's what is going on, it is no longer, " Of the People, by the people, and for the people", now it is what we can control the people with. Time to wake up madison, put some people in the commission who will represent the people, not just a "FEW".
