More importantly, that we want to stay with the current system. I don't want this survey to be like the GC&B one - stacked with Bannister & Gang supporters. We can't give up and let them sneak this through.

PLEASE, Gwinnett residents, do not fall for the scare tactics. The commissioners are only cutting budget items that will impact residents the most -police, fire, parks, libraries, etc. Why? Because they want to punish the residents for voting down the tax increase. They also hope to scare residents into rethinking a tax increase--an increase that would not be needed were it not for a stadium, illegal land deals and trash-battle legal fees. I'm sure there are many items in the budget that could be cut that residents would not even notice. But that would not fit Mr. Bannister's agenda. We've come to the standoff and I refuse to blink first! Mr. Bannister’s letter is insulting to say the least.
