Behind the Wheel

Cross moves to ensure no one drives as far as he has   How very quaint. After being at the wheel, as fate would have it, while Columbia County exploded in growth, Chairman Cross now wants to make sure no other group of citizens is ever able to consolidate that much power again. All the millions and millions and millions of dollars that have been spent over the past 10 years is staggering. The leadership that will eventually leave office will certainly be remembered long after it’s gone. How could it not be? Every time you drive down Washington Road beyond Belair you see it. It’s wrapped up tighter than Dick’s hatband now, but there was a time not long ago that the epicenter of Columbia County was a blank canvas. It’s not often you’re able to build a city from scratch. After driving the bus for the past 10 or so years, a bus that saw Evans explode in growth, Cross is hoping to make sure that the group that has steered that growth, spent those many millions of dollars of taxpayer money, will be the last to spend so much time behind the wheel. Term limits now is like marrying the hottest girl in your senior class… when she’s a senior citizen. It’s a bold move to ensure the “wrong” group of folks don’t get a hold of the wheel, and, if they do, they won’t be able to create a machine like the current one in power.You Might Also Like:
