Ann Stoneburner and Robert Wyatt want you to consider voting for John Larkin and Maria Caudill for BOC

Hi all,  

Robert and I are still interested in defeating the incumbent Oconee County commissioners (John  Daniell and Margaret Hale) in the Republican Primary on May 20th.   We are hosting a "meet and greet" for John Larkin (electlarkinboc.org) and Maria Caudill (electcaudillcommissioner.org), their opponents, this Sunday, April 13th, between 2 and 4 pm.  We would appreciate any of you dropping by to meet the candidates.  It is a very casual event, as I've told friends and neighbors to drop by in their tennis apparel, in church dress, or in their yard work "duds."  Please bring along a friend or family members, if it suits.

Most of you probably are not thinking about "crossing-over" in the Primary Election on May 20th.  As you know, I am, partly for the pleasure of voting against Paul Broun and the two incumbent county commissioners, but partly because the front-runners in the Democratic races are established, and my vote for or against them will not make a difference in the results.

There are various reasons to support Larkin and Caudill against the incumbents.  Daniell and Hale stone-walled the SPLOST vote scheduled for the Primary Election in May.  It is widely speculated they voted to delay the scheduled SPLOST vote to the General Election in November to avoid offending voters in the Primary Election who might not agree with their allocation of SPLOST funds.  Although their major motivation may have been to thwart Melvin Davis, despite the cost to the county in lost time and effort.  

The incumbents have also angered citizens in Oconee by their dismissive attitudes of SPLOST requests made by the Oconee County Public Libraries and tennis programs offered through the Parks and Recreation Department.  Additionally, Daniell and Hale are very resistant to alcohol sales in restaurants in the county.  To the point that  Daniell would require a petition of some 8,600 names before he would support a referendum on the issue.  Attached is one of Lee Becker's blogs that describes the results of a survey, conducted by his class at the University of Georgia, that shows the majority of citizens in Oconee County support sales of liquor-by-the-drink.  

If you are troubled by the power that Daniells and Hale exercise over decisions made by the BOC, please consider a contribution to the campaigns of Larkin and Caudill or a vote in their favor in the Primary.

Thank you, Ann
