Local participation

You've got to give John Marsh credit for one thing - at least he's involved.

The self-proclaimed Republican activist submitted his own suggestions to the Athens-Clarke County Commission as the latter prepares to debate the 2006-2007 budget. And it's safe to say that I don't necessarily agree with all of his proposals and that his 'cuts' really aren't anything major ($6 million from a budget of close to $160 million really isn't all that much).

Still, you've got to applaud the guy. Unlike a lot of folks who complain about one thing or another in this community, Marsh sat down, did his research and came up with a plan of action. It'd be a better world if everyone was as involved as he was.

Oh, we're saying he did his research now? He just overlooked all that shit about pay raises and gas prices?

By 'research' I mean 'actually read the thing' ... I didn't mean 'thought it through.'
