\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nDoes the Commission already has reputation problems when\r\nit’s being compared unfavorably to Lester Maddox?\r\nA citizen canceled a business trip to ask “what if we only had one hardware store”\r\nat last night’s\r\n\r\nLowndes County Commission Regular Session<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nOur prices we pay would be through the roof; we would not have a choice.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nAnd you’re welcome, Duane Roark:\r\nit was LAKE who\r\n\r\nput you on YouTube last month<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nHe also quoted a headline from the Fayetteville Observer,\r\n\r\nOperation Tarnished Badge: Years later, tarnish remains<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nA corruption investigation that sent the Sheriff and 21 others to prison\r\nstill casts a shadow over law enforcement in Robeson County.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"Duane<\/a>\r\n

\r\nIf we put Deep South Sanitation out of business, it’s gonna give\r\nLowndes County a black eye.\r\nPeople are to say,\r\n“I don’t want to go to Lowndes County and open a small business,\r\nbecause I’m afraid they’re going to tell me I can’t operate any more,\r\nand then what am I going to do?”\r\n

\r\nAnd some black eyes you can get rid of.\r\nSome you can’t.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nThen he brought up Lester Goes to Ludowici:\r\n

\r\nBEWARE!\r\n
\r\nYou are in Long County and\r\n
\r\nApproaching Ludowici, Georgia\r\n
\r\nDon’t get fleeced in a clip joint. Don’t get caught in a speed trap.\r\n
\r\nLester Maddox, Governor\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nI can just see one day when you come into Lowndes County, and it’s gonna read:\r\n
\r\nBeware!\r\n
\r\nYou are in Lowndes County and\r\n
\r\napproaching Valdosta, Georgia\r\n
\r\nDon’t get fleeced in a garbage contract.\r\nDon’t get caught in a business monopoly.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nHe went on to explain why Deep South Sanitation’s truck is named Maggie.\r\nAnd he mentioned that Sheriff Chris Prine is a DSS customer.\r\nThe Chairman cut him off at five minutes, and the crowd applauded Roark.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nHere’s\r\n\r\nthe video:<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
