Charlie Hoag: my hero

The following is a quote from a comment a story buried in the distant past of this blog:
Here is the answer to what you are wondering. I am C. Hoag. The current issues within and surrounding the Oconee political scene and the players involved are a direct result of the backdoor, jellyfish, no cahones politics that were set in motion against me years ago. I have never publically spoken out on those events so here goes. I put my name in the hat, jeopardized a 15 year career and my family because no one else would. As soon as the developers in the county saw me at Harris Shoals Park the poop went knee deep and cell phones went into overdrive. I was not, would not be and am not in their pockets and they knew this. They took action. They never once contacted me prior to having my name removed by the State Party. They handled a threat by sweeping it away. So those involved are now reaping the consequences of their actions. Not by any actions that I have taken, but by the fact that unethical people always reap what they sow in good time.

How do feel? 1 down 3 to go. In time they to will be faced with issues stemming from their decision to take care of a personal agenda rather than Oconee County. As far as being swept away. My attendance at Bogart City Council meetings is no chance happening. See you there and thanks for remembering my 24 hours as a Politician.
This man is my hero. He is a fire chief for the North Oconee Fire Station near Bogart. His name is Charlie Hoag. He made the single best comment in this blog some hundred-plus entries back and I will resurrect it earlier in this post. I do not know this man very well. I know his wife Robin a whole lot better from talking to her when she was Mayor of Bogart and a graduate student at the Athens campus of Piedmont College. He spent a short while as the heir apparent to Wendell Dawson as the Republican nominee for Chairman of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners until the less-savory individuals of the local thought police, er, Republican party, decided he was not worthy. I will let his words explain the rest:

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
