Makes ridiculous comment . . . not running for re-election.

Do we need any further proof that term limits must be placed on all political positions?

It would step up the time table, making them more reckless. I agree with you though, it wouldn’t stop them.

The plus to something like term limits(it’s always discussed, but never happens) is that it would put their shenanigans on display more prominently.

It doesn’t matter in the big picture, term limits are always cried about but never actually happen. It’s always thrown out as the “solution” to corrupt government, instead of the simple recognition that government but it’s very nature is corrupt- no matter what rules you try to apply to it.

Just like this situation- the public votes down a tax, then the pols find a way around it and get their tax anyway. This happens over and over again. It’s a shell game that the taxpayers can’t win.

Doesn’t prove that at all. flip is much like GT in making broad pronouncements about what this or that person is all about, politically. But in regard to the comment in question, the “pre-2012” is obviously about the Romney run for POTUS. Even if he isn’t just projecting what he deems the individual’s POV to be on the subject of Mormons, any views expressed on this, and many other popular blogs previous to that year, are available via Google search.

Johnny jeffcoat is a fucking moron in addition to being a Mormon. Let’s face it, his religion is based off some meat whistle named Joseph Smith, who claims to be a prophet, who morons (I mean Mormons) believe Jesus is a god, but that any human can also become a god.

Johnny jeffcoat has long believed he is a god and just like his prophet Joseph smith, truly believes that he can tell people a bunch of fucking lies and expect people to believe it is the word.

Too bad Johnny that you chose not run again because you know you were going to lose the election. I was so looking forward to you realizing and your so called followers to see that you are not a god, that you are nothing more than a simple con-man.

Now it is time to un-elect several lexington town council members so your crooked ass can be fired from that job too.

Hey Will, I understand it getting by WIS, WLTX, The State. and other poor excuses for “journalism”, but how did you miss the latest bit of ugliness in the corrupt village of Lexington? I just drove through there a few minutes ago and by all appearances, they are gearing up for red light cams in a major way. The vicinity around the courthouse downtown seems to be getting the hardware installed.

When was this approved and by whom? Were there any public meetings or hearings about this travesty? Is there a state law forbidding this practice and if not, we need to pressure our legislators to pass one.

Once again, Lexington’s local political crooks give the citizens the ol’ middle finger up the ass, or so it appears.

I realize that hindsight is 20/20 but there is plenty of history available had the local politicians been interested to look at it. The roads in the Town of Lexington could have been fixed 20-25 years ago when land was a lot cheaper and still pretty rural. New wider roads could have been cut through wooded lots to allow traffic to bypass the town.

1. The town and the county of Lexington did not work together.
2. New zoning laws to ensure plenty of room for expansion for the roads
that they bordered and allow for more ease of entry and exit
3. They should have seen that developers would be building along these roads. Whiteford, and Carriage hills should have sounded the alarm for them.
4. They could have reached out to other small towns that went through an expansion phase and asked them what they did that worked and what mistakes they made.

But no they didn’t and now we who live in Lexington are all paying the price for the fact that our politicians are morons.

If this was directed at Jews, Lutherans, women, fags or other group there would be people screaming for this idiot to resign. He should anyway. Jeffcoat is a crony of the seedy trash dumping and homebuilders cartels who are behind the county penny road tax and lexington town hospitality taxes JJ can’t resist supporting. He (and all others on county council) is a tool of Joe Mergo and his band of intimidating thugs who really run the place. What did Lexington people expect when they elected a mayor who can’t hold a job with a restaurant and failed running two restaurants. With the rest of the nitwits on town council the place is a joke and hope the people there will dump those tax and spend liberals in next election. Who would have thought the only reasonable elected person in lexington was Stambolitis?

while all of you are complaining about yet another scam. Let me inform you that your property tax on you vehicles and your homes are over inflated. When you get your bill go out to KBB and check on your fair market value you will see that they extremely OVERinflated the value. Print it off and take it to the tax office with you and they will reduce it no questions asked. SCAM pathetic. When will people in this state realize that voting R across the board has resulted in our state being pretty much last in every catagory except of coarse Public employees salaries. Expenditures from the Governors office for political campaigning while the rest of us just keep working for less and less and paying more and more while they live high on the hog. WAKE UP
