\nAs I was out campaigning, it was interesting what people are\n\n<\/a>\ninterested in having their pennies spent on. Many want better\nsidewalks and safer places to ride their bikes. One Valdosta police\nofficer particularly commented on the dangerous bike riding\nconditions (especially on North Oak Extension). Many in the\nun-incorporated areas want increased fire protection and it seems\nthat everyone better drainage (and I don't mean simply open ditches\nfor rain water) and still others would like to see some soccer\nfields.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt seems like we should be able to do some prioritizations and then\nsave up for these things. I guess that will be up to the new\ncommission chairman and members and they will have to figure out how\nto move forward without a SPLOST immediately in 2014.\n<\/p>\n

\nPersonally, I'd like to see a public accounting of how the previous\nSPLOSTS were spent. And not in big categories, but the actual\ndetails… But that's just me.\n<\/p>\n
