2021 NO SPLOST is an Obstructionist Agenda
As one who votes Democrat, I believe in progressive efforts, not obstructionism. Controls need to be instituted in any sort of program, let alone in government, but I do not believe that the duty to manage or oversee a project should supersede its potential value and benefit. We need to vote YES on the SPLOST 2021 because
- Coastal and flood waters are rising and Brunswick, GA, has serious, costly drainage issues.
- Storms, nationally, seem to have increased in volume, power, and repetition. If we are hit head on by a hurricane or other storm it will be devastating, and not just in the flooding,,, the entire infrastructure could go down. I don't think we want to experience "Texas level" disaster anytime soon.
- Most roads and sidewalks on the peninsula could use improvement and it's been said often.
- Black leaders support the SPLOST and have said that their constituents need this help.

We are in a pandemic, during a massive economic recession, and we have a very old infrastucture that needs updating. But the obstructionists say that the Glynn County Commissioners, even the newly elected ones, aren't capable of managing the SPLOST 2021. How would they know? I don't know, what I do know is that
- Three of the foremost "no splosters" ran for office within the past few years and lost. Two ran for county commissioner, one for city.
- All three are white, own homes, some with several properties.
- Two ran as Democrats, the third is unknown.
- At least one helped mobilize Black turnout for recent elections.
So why would they obstruct a one penny tax on a dollar that benefits everyone, let alone minorities, during such a vulnerable time? We can only guess that if they had won their election, they wouldn't be opposed. We can only guess that they somehow see it fit to ask black and brown voters for their vote but not lend a hand when it's time to return that favor.
The obstructionists cannot be allowed to carry out their objective of revenge for losing their elections and dissatisfaction with a Republican commission. It's not time for revenge, it's a time for healing and moving forward, and lending a hand to those in need.
VOTE YES on the 2021 SPLOST!
