The Citizens Get Taken Again over the Golf Course

The Citizens Get Taken Again over the Golf Course

According to the agenda for the July 19, 2016 BOC Meeting in McDonough, they will be discussing lease agreements for mowing equipment and Golf carts for the Cotton Fields Gold Course inwhich the County has taken on through the Department of Recreation. I looks as though the people will be on the hook for some sizeable money for this equipment leases to the tune of around one half a million dollars over the next 48--60 months. Why didn't the Golf Course already have this type of equipment? Who dropped the ball on this one and how much more will it cost the taxpayers to pay for this adventure.

They will also be discussing something is a double standard. A few years ago the BOC installed a rule saying no smoking or beer allowed in county parks. They will be approving a change to allow smoking and beer consumption at the Golf Course. Now this isn't right at all and if the Golf Course is to be a part of the Parks and Recreation Department then citizens should have the right to smoke and have a beer at the all county parks. This seems to be an elitist ruling because most people know it cost a good bit to play golf. Most working people in Henry County either don't have time to play golf or cannot afford it. By banning smoking and beer at the parks it was a serious infringement upon the rights of the citizens who paid to have these parks built. The citizens should take the BOC to court over this matter because it is a double standard.
