This is not designed to save water. It is designed to raise money to spend on projects. Do not be fooled, it’s a new tax being applied to give someone power. Also, those who cut back on their water usage during the drought are being double penalized for their usage now. Our winter usage was down and now the penalty is high. If the county is really concerned about saving water, then stop to core from dumping the water downstream to fill up the gulf.

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.

Wow first off I am pretty sure if we quit paying for the FIRE and Police cars taken far away by workers living many counties away first we could free up those cars, second if those people choose not to work in the area they live why should the people here pay the gas and auto bills,

Second quit letting Goverment uniforms and cars be used for private citizens with the funds not going to the Goverment but to individaul officers using Goverment uniform and car,

other States dont let private companies use uniformed officers and cars for private pay why should we.
