Ed Burke, that is funny! Broomell knew during the election the locations of the Hodge properties, because her signs found a home during the election on his RT 40 properties. That would be because Robert Hodge supports all Republicans! Ahh, now the properties are a problem? Hopefully her signs will not find a home back on those same properties.

The road trip should be called “Driving Miss Crazy.” Many “concerned citizens” have remarked that they have questions about her fitness to serve…. The “concerned citizens” should, of course, remain anonymous, just like her “citizens” who supposedly make unsubstantiated accusations against county employees.

Commissioner Broomell seems to have more in common with the crowd at “Occupy Wall Street” than the TEA party. She is perfectly content for someone who has been economically unsuccessful and is living off the system to make decisions for the county, but when it comes to those who have been successful in private business, she doesn’t want those individuals to have a voice in county matters.

Frankly, I stopped discussing my concerns over county issues with her a few months ago, because I got tired of every conversation about every issue somehow going back to Hodge’s properties. I asked her more than once to see for herself what he disclosed about his properties in the public record, but she didn’t bother to take that little effort to do it. It was easier to continue to disparage his character to private citizens and use the distrust she created to support her own agenda, than to actually do some fact finding to find out if there were legitimate concerns.

I appreciate what Hodge attempted to do, although it should have been totally unneccesary, but it really won’t matter with Commissioner Broomell, because the only things she sees are the things that support her agenda.
