“PAID FROM EXISTING TAX RESERVE FUNDS”? WHAT RESERVE FUNDS? MY PROPERTY TAXES KEEP GETTING JACKED UP FOR WHAT? TO PAY FOR GOLF COURSES? BOY, THE EMERGENCY SERVICES SECTOR MUST BE PISSED OFF - CAN’T GIVE THE COPS OR FIREMEN A RAISE FOR RISKING THEIR NECKS, BUT WE CAN BUY GOLF COURSES THAT ARE IN THE RED. THIS COUNTY IS GOING TO HELL!

Always bear in mind:
• The Gwinnett Stadium cost $65 million
• Funded entirely by taxpayer dollars
• The Gwinnett BoC negotiated the deal in secrecy
• Taxpayers had no say-so in the process
• The Gwinnett BoC guaranteed the stadium would make money from day one.

Gwinnett County is becoming quite the sports Mecca. We should all go play a round of golf, then take in a Gwinnett Braves game and finish by taking a swim in the debt that all of this foolishness has created.

Comment on Gwinnett County Garbage & Recycling Program Video by Gwinnett Recall Committee

Gwinnett Recall Committee — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:56:13 +0000

Were these paid actors or were they real Socialists? Why does the new efficient garbage and recycling program only offer one level of service? Why were we not allowed to vote on this new tax/fee? Why does the entire County share the burden of laws passed with the intent to have the haulers increase recycling and decrease volume dumped?
Why does the public servants elected to protect and serve the electorate do the bidding of big business only? Mr. Bannister please contact me at http://www.gwntrecall.com, when you get back from your travels.

Comment on Bannister Arrested on Suspicion of DUI by Gwinnett Recall Committee

Gwinnett Recall Committee — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:39:33 +0000

Citizens of Gwinnett,

My sympathies to Mr. Bannister and his family for his poor judgement related to these actions.

My sympathies and support to Mr. Cummings for having the courage to do the right things when concerned citizens witnessed a criminal act and then acted to protect Mr. Bannnister and any innocent person he might have injured.

My sympathies and support to the witnesses who had the courage to act when seeing a criminal act being committed by someone that might endanger our fellow citizens. Most people just do not wish to get involved because it might mean they have to decide where their principles really lie.

I find it very interesting that while we buy into thousands of Georgians being convicted for DUI and have drank far less without anyone willing to witness their actions and being convicted. That we now believe that 0.00 trumps five witnesses; two of whom are trained law enforcement officers and that this 0.00 whether by breathalyzer or blood analysis now exonerates the suspect. When will we be re-instating all the Gwinnett County employees,with back pay, who were teriminated because of the zero tolerance policy? Who were the other persons drinking with Bannister, which he confessed, that night and what was on their tabs? When you get those answers and the statements of the other witnesses, please let me know by sending me a message at http://www.gwntrecall.com.

The gang who couldn’t shoot straight arrested the leader of the gang who couldn’t legislate straight. Holy sh*t! The will live on forever in Gwinnett political folklore. I hope everyone realizes that in spite of the fact that Bannister ADMITS to drinking at least two beers and driving a county vehicle that you and I bought, that he now will be more empowered and emboldened in his means of governance.

Look up “cluster f—” in the dictionary and see if it doesn’t provide this stunt as an example.

But at least the GBI is investigating, whatever that is supposed to accomplish.

Boy this raises a stink that will take years to clear, not only between Bannister and Conway, but all of the doubt cast upon the sheriffs office in general as well as the DUI testing process.
