Neither the city nor the county believe it's big enough to serve both.

No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties.

One parent asked me if we ever needed someone to pick up sticks. I said sure and they sent their son to help out around the farm. Then the apples were ready. Soon two more boys were there to help get the ladders out and pick the apples. Then something was ready in the garden and we decided to start canning and eventually decided to enter the Clay County Fair.

One out of four students that we have in the county schools speak another first language. It's helpful to have bilingual teachers to be able to communicate with parents.

In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. . . . This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help . . . but I don't even know where to start. It's tough to focus on anything right now because I'm very concerned.

One way or another we'll figure out a way to get some lights over there. It's a safety issue. But it being a county road is presenting some problems for me.

My hope was when I read it, there was a misprint. I really couldn't believe one could be proposed without St. Joseph County being part of it.

(My hope is) for it to be a first-class facility that will serve the citizens of Orangeburg and Orangeburg County while also being a facility that will attract teams from all over the Southeast to play on our fields, use our hotels and eat at our restaurants.

new people moving in and then the county scrambling to find out how we're going to fund it.

Obviously, there is still a lot of demand in the county for people to live here. We're seeing the results of that demand.

Obviously, the county is going to have to extend projects over more years.

Obviously, the county has become increasingly diverse at the same time it has become increasingly affluent. We have become attractive to everyone, regardless of their race or ethnicity.

I was at the courthouse to vote this morning. I parked in the far reaches of the parking lot I noticed a car sitting in the fire lane and blocking the disabled camp to go into the courthouse. As I got closer to the car the license plate on the car said County Judge. We must be vigilant to guard against the hubris of elected officials. This just reminded me why I am running in this race.

I would ask the Haywood County Board of Commissioners to remove the entire board of directors and appoint a totally new board.

We've already seen markets over there hit the wall in San Diego and Orange County and other places, too.

I'd like for the county to honor their agreement.

I did not use my position on P&Z to better my company. And the only money I can ever remember receiving from Smith County was for jury duty. I think we all know there are very strict regulations on conflicts of interest. I don't intend to become county judge just so I can bid on county work.

I don't feel conformable approving something just because the county approved it.

I don't expect we'll be asking for anything more than the county is asking.

I'd like to see us solve regional problems by working together, the cities and the county, ... I'm anxious to work with the other six mayors.
