Councilman Schofield may label the FCCIA as having “perverted logic” by assuming the councilmen think it is their money. The money belongs to the taxpayers – let the people decide by voting in a referendum. Never before, in the history of Florence County, has there been an outcry by 11,000 people for change.

They consider themselves the final authority for how county funding should be collected and spent and apparently are appalled that the citizens of Florence County might question their decisions. They seem to forget they are elected to serve and not to dictate. I hope their constituents take note of little they value our opinions.
