The SPLOST V project list contains an option that should be handled by a private entity. The aquatic center has been on the dream list many times around and it is yet to see the light of day. Knowing the track record of the BoC these projects have a good chance of not being done so as to transfer the money to other areas that were not voted on by the citizens. Yes, they will ask and promote these things yet cannot fix the parks that they already have in the county. Maintaining the parks is an expensive endeavor and yes you the taxpayer are on the hook to pay for all this, in the long run, many times over. For example, they set aside $2 million for a ball field and park. Then, over the years it will cost far more than that to maintain by hiring staff and the future costs of building materials will go up. That leaves the citizens with bills long after those in elected office have retired to another state. If they are not properly maintained they will fall apart and you then have nothing. Don’t let those in power leave you like a deer in the headlights with a debt they created for their own gain. Whether it is political or monetary gain to friends the money is a bottomless pit for those who pretend to know what they are doing. Get out and vote NO for SPLOST V.
