Cobb can’t risk more of Tim Lee

DEAR EDITOR:

The irony is not lost on me that the lead article in Wednesday’s newspaper reports that Tim Lee is not in favor of rescinding the $3 million Alternatives Analysis environmental study, while on page 5, the MDJ endorsed Lee for re-election as Cobb Commission chairman. I thought Lee’s involvement in and support of TSPLOST would have been enough for you not to endorse him. Now with the news that Lee wants to move forward with this ‘bridge-to-nowhere” type environmental study, your endorsement is baffling.

Bill Byrne isn’t perfect — who is? — but he is much too conservative to be so reckless with our tax dollars. I’m voting Byrne — Cobb County can’t risk another term with Lee at the helm.

Yeah, Byrne has his faults all right

The recycling debacle

Byrne was for monorails before he was against them

He loves Polk County -- he should stay there

Sweet heart land deals with big zoning attorney -- not to mention the rigged parking lot swap in Marietta -- you had to be paying attention for that one.

cut taxes? while the assessed values were soaring? He could have cut property taxes in half.

Yeah, Byrne has his faults.

The real risk would be for Lee's opponent to be elected! Those who don't know him would be in for a really ugly surprise!

And, might Tim Lee have caused the ASO to snub two Cobb high schools choral programs with his comment that opponents of TSPLOST were racially motivated?

I had that same thought.

Glad you mentioned it.

I wouldn't put it past Kasim Reed and his Atlanta gangstas' to be so petty and bigoted.

I wouldn't even put it past Tim Lee to call up and suggest it as retribution for not voting for the TSPLOST.

Lets see Byrne lost us the Olympics so lets throw out an unfounded charge against Lee. Pathetic.

Better yet, BCPundit, let's just throw out Tim "water-carrier" Lee.

WHOOPS!

That last comment was supposed to be directed at "Baseless Charges".
