I'd like to get some FReepers'points of view on this.

The three commissioners most often criticized by Stokes Citizens deny that they deliberately vote together to form a majority on the five-member board.

So, "where's the beef?"

From what I read in the article, and not living in Stokes County, nor knowing the history of the board members, this sounds like normal county politics.

But, I must applaud the board for doing what they must do to keep a lid on the inherent tendency to spend on pet projects, merely to maintain their position of power.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Stokes County has a funded arts council???

Sounds like they've discovered fiscal restraint in Stokes -- but if the people want to recall these commissioners and pay more taxes, then ... they're only gonna get what they're asking for. Hope they can afford it... with their economy.
