LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Albany/Dougherty County have too much government

Mr. Grant is dead on. The problem is talking to politicians about a threat to their jobs almost creates panic.

I agree we have too much government for a small county. I was in Jacksonville Fla., in the ’60s when Duval County joined Jacksonville to make one of the largest cities in the country. I think it is still very successful.

I drive to Macon and note the city/county line is the same. I think the way to get the politicians’ notice is to get together like-minded citizens and form a group. A PAC would be good.

We might be able to contract with government to do a study as they often seem to need done at great expense. We really do have too many chiefs, managers, and high-priced cars. Tax money savings may sound like a bad word to some. In a county/town where the tax rate is one of the highest in the state, any saving has to be a good idea. Concerned citizens will have to get with us to get our voice heard.

Mr. Grant, keep up the good work.
