Editor:
I support Frank Spears for the Columbia County Commission. My wife and I will be voting for him in the primary. Through church and our Sunday school class, I have known Frank for the last several years. I trust him, and I believe him. With that being said, Frank, I have one piece of advice - your signs would be more effective if you did not lay them in a pile along the side of the road.
I was going down Furys Ferry the other day and I saw signs for Steve Brown, lined up nice and straight along the road. Invariably, I would then see three or four of Spears signs just lying there. If I werent looking for them, Id miss them.
Now, Im not much of a political strategist (although I have seen The West Wing a couple of times), but to run a campaign by literally throwing signs by the road just does not make sense. We did get his mailer and the fact you support abolishing the storm water tax that alone would get my vote.
Frank Spears has vision and we need more people like him for this area to survive. Until the politicians in Augusta start behaving like adults, Columbia County and Aiken County will be the leaders in this area. I encourage everyone in District 1 to look at the signs before casting their vote this primary.
