Write In Don Henderson Henry County Chairman!!

October 17th is the kick off for early voting in Henry County.  Now is the time to do the right thing and Vote for Write in Candidate Don Henderson for Henry County Board of Commission Chairman.  We need a good honest man at the helm that is a true conservative.  Your only other options are two democrats and one of those is running as a republican.  Don Henderson is a viable candidate that will be good for Henry County.  So when you go to the polls remember to Write in Don Henderson for Chairman of the BOC.

Why I Am Not Voting For June Wood

Why I Am Not Voting For June Wood.
My experience serving with June Wood on the School Council at Eagles Landing High:

I found her to be polite and someone I liked as a person. But as an elected official I found June to be a “go along to get along person” following the principals lead for a do nothing School Council. Georgia Law provides a minimum specific list of activities and areas of interest for School Councils to explore. We did none of them, and when I asked her to support a move in that direction I did not get it. Which on first impression makes me come across as a sore loser; the truth, I, was not the loser because I tried, I fought, and I failed. The students, the teachers, the principal (yes the Principal), and the parents in the school community were the losers. Why? Because the community did not get the best we could have given as its servants. The difference between myself and some others; I take my responsibilities toward the public seriously. I would rather fail by doing my best to serve, than fail by going along to get along. I cannot say the same for June Wood in our shared experience.

I also freely admit the elected school Council position is lower on the ladder than Dog Catcher, and you don’t receive any compensation beyond knowing you did your best. Still, elected members are required to follow the guidance provided in Georgia law, do what is right for the school community, without agenda, and without an axe to grind.

If June Wood cannot or would not serve as required or lead in a school community as small as Eagles Landing, what can we expect her to do for Henry County?

Can she play politics?
I have observed her playing the game.
Does she have a history of standing up and taking the hit on the job for the community?
Not that I am aware of.
But if you know a different story, it would be interesting to read it.
I wish her well.
