Be careful whose toes you step on while climbing the corporate ladder, the same people will be there when you come back down (I borrowed this from John D. , I've heard him say it many times, and how true it is !).

59 votes from board members, some of our legislators, loyal friends and family either believe that the subject should be dropped or that the compensation is okay.
Speaks volumes, doesn't it?

I think more important is that a huge majority of the votes were cast for either: a serious matter that needs further investigation, I think the ABO is right, and staff compensation and bonuses are too high.

There is a huge disconnect with the GCEDC and the Legislature. At least with the voters in this poll. I also have observed talk among people that I've encountered today. Citizens are paying attention and are very angry.

I just hope that the board and legislature takes responsibility and right sizes. Otherwise we are seeing a board and legislature completely out of touch with the public they are supposed to be serving.

Isn't it funny how this country is falling apart and politicians and government officials at all levels are more concern to line their pockets. High unemployment, housing market and financial collapse, bailout programs that are abused, etc.... Roger that! Just sit and color everyone and do not forget the kool aid
