Henry County Continues the Apathy

Henry County Continues the Apathy

It has come and gone that in this election only 9% of the registered voters in Henry County turned out to vote.  There are over 171,000 registered to vote in the county.  This is pathetic.  It continues the trend of the last several years of elections that only a handful turn out to elect or vote on decisions that cost the taxpayers in the pocket.   There is an old saying that goes like this, “you get what you want and deserve.”  There is a new tax for roads that will go to the hands of those who do not know how to handle the taxpayer's money in the county.  Those few who voted handed them the key to the treasure chest.  Those who voted in the municipal elections also had a low turnout of just 9% and they have put people either back in office or those who have strings attached to them that run back to the underlying problem in the county.  It appears those in the county who don’t vote have no feelings about their own lives or the lives of their loved ones.  It begs the question as to why register to vote if you don’t exercise your right to do so?

Enjoy what you get as things will continue down a path of disorganization for the foreseeable future.
