This how Urban Dictionary defines Jack Legg and I think it fits very well.

1. Jack Legg
A person who is always screwing something up or is a screwball. 2.
Something that is screwed up or no good.

for Chairman.

Hey Dumbwood, you can leave now.

Anyone else thinking of tossing you hat in the ring, please don't

is the proverbial game-changer. With her experience, contacts and
resources, it will be virtually impossible for another candidate to defeat
her.

I assume Commissioner Worley is running unopposed. What's the latest
gossip in the Elder and Wilburn districts?

Does anyone remember the man that got a bond on a Probation Revocation?
Instead of showing up to court, he shot and killed his two children and
later killed himself. Who has ever heard of giving a bond when someone is
about to go to prison? There would be two children alive if they hadn't!

Does anyone know what the heck he does? He must have direct deposit
because he doesn't even show up for his paycheck!

Does anyone see him?

Does anyone know what the heck he does? He must have direct deposit
because he doesn't even show up for his paycheck!

Does anyone see him?

A sincere thank you for offering to serve Barrow County. We need you!!

I will conduct one of my straw polls in the coming weeks and see how Pat
Graham stacks up against Jack Legg and Danny Yearwood.It has been clear for
over a year now that the majority of registered Barrow County voters think
that Jack Legg could do a better job as commission chairman, but where will
Ms. Grahams experience place he rin what is so far a three man race? Barrow
can only win .

Did you miss is? First, Yearwood tries to keep Frank Nocera on the Airport
Authority. Scott & Perry to the rescue to support him. It was broadcast
on Ch24. It was all show and didn't work. No Nocera, but Perry got the
Airport Authority nod and Scott got Yearwood's real estate listings and
appointed to UDC. Perry got elected to the Statham City Council and he
must sadly leave the Airport Authority. Then Scott got the Airport
Authority nod from Yearwood. All this lets Nocera keep calling the shots
and Yearwood keeps his little band of followers happy. Nocera Hanger
Parties can continue and Danny still gets invited. By the way, did Nocera
pay his airplane taxes last year? Did he get special treatment like 2010
when he was allowed to enter the tax office after it was closed and after
the deadline for paying? Pity, not one real aviator or statesman in the
bunch.

For Facebook users take a moment and like Pat Graham for Chairman.

Never mind taking the poll.Pat Graham is Jack Legg.A way to keep her
fingers on the pulse of the county.
First big trick of the season.

will have someone running against her.

EVIL had help getting daughter to sign over her rites to her part of
inheiritance...Mark still was the one who actually lied to her about the
tax deal, as john stell sat beside her listening as still lied to her
knowing all along this was not true!!she only wanted too go by eddies wishs
but they refused...still claimed paper work was coming from stells office,
and as soon as he got it the money woulb be devided equally!!This was 7 yrs
ago....All 3 of these people should be held accountable??.elder,still,and
stell...

Always look forward to the school inducting the hall of fame members each
year. That was a great thing they had going until I saw the list of names
for this year. Glad they paper included the committee to see who is on it,
but wish they had also listed the criteria for being inducted. I can see a
coach being included that has had several state championships but to bring
in the daughter who is not nearly as deserving as so many others is a
shame. This really takes away from the prestige and honor that the other
ones deserve. Good ole Winder, it is never who you really are, but just
who you know. The same ones will keep running the show. The committee
should not be happy with themselves that they let this happen. It makes a
mockery of the whole event.

When in the hell are you people going to realize that posting every
possible piece of information about what you are doing, thinking, going,
makes you a sitting duck.
Let the newspapers do the printing and quit giving the whole world your
vital information.Especially if you are a dumb poster.

PR campaign gets I got it done in FLA so I can get it done in Ga.New
spokesperson for the TEN year T-Splost .
Politions speak loudly about No New Taxes and smaller government but when
it comes to the one penny across the board sales tax, they start talking
out of both sides of their mouth.All of a sudden, splost tax is free money.
The time has come for the voters to be counted,ask your candidate where
they stand on taxes by any name and cast your vote accordenly.You don't
raise taxes in a bad economy.
Vote NO for TEN YEAR T-Splost Tax.

OK, you ask why the DOT is pushing this T-Splost so hard?
Well they have hundreds of employees and contractors with nothing to do
because there is no money to fund their dream projects.
They have squandered the taxpayers money for years, now the bucket is empty
and they want the taxpayers to fill it up again.
Enough is enough,useless roads,bridges to no where,toll lanes that are not
being used.
That is like Barrow county having to run treated water down sewer systems
because they are not used enough to make them run.

Who ever posted this in my name...well...At least you got part of it right.
I've worked with Pat Graham to better this County, and truly believe she
can not only unite a divisive Commission, but work with the Commission to
reign in runaway government. Plus, she will add the "Polished" look on the
face of this County and present it for the world to see how truly unique
and GREAT the people of Barrow truly are. Go getem' Pat....

As for Danny being a Newt...don't think so...

And to the other John King...stay on CNN...Just sayin'

Has anyone ever called for a deputy and waited 20-30 minutes before one
arrives. Only in Barrow County, it is getting very old. Apparently a rape
happened in the County and a woman was unconscious and a deputy arrived 26
minutes after called. Way to go BCSO, it is always the same story. Response
times are open record by the way, It is not a big deal until you are the
one needing immidieate attention.

It has dwindled down to nothing. There was nothing in The Sunday paper at
all.

Where is Rick Bridgeman?

The DA's Office is sending out subpoena's on the same cases many times
over. If a trial week is coming up, the Sheriff's Office has to serve all
the cases' subpoenas. If the case doesn't come up on the Calendar Call, no
one is called. The Witnesses just receive another subpoena for the trial
week. The DA's Office is wasting the Sheriff's Office budget by being
lazy.

Also, the DA's great case percentage is based also on sending the Sheriff's
Office all over Georgia to pick up convicted felons from the prisons and
bringing them back to plead on other cases. They end up getting just
probation or their sentences to run concurrent with their sentence they are
already serving.

So, the taxpayers money is being wasted to make the DA's conviction rate
look good. Seems if they don't plead before they go to prison, they
shouldn't get off that easy.

In addition, fines are being put on fifa's which are never collected.

I hope it's not true to Joe Robinson isn't running after what he and his
Dog did with the inmate population during his last few months in office!
Housing out everyone so the Sheriff's Office didn't have to work. The
County took a beating trying to pay those bills.

Joe Robinson, ... get over your ego and don't even think about it! You
weren't that good!

All of the experts here write thier expertise about how the County should
do this or that. Who did what and what they should have done. This is
in-between asking people if they want fries with that, or...paper or
plastic... Grow up people of Barrow....Yes we do need good leadership but
who wants to take that chance when the good ones get run out on a rail. Its
time for good leadership and people to support that leadership. Good ole
boy leadership style doesnt work anymore. Get rid of the incompetance and
replace with intelligence and then support them. Lets not listen to the
rantings of idiots such as the ones who blast everyone with knowledge of
nothing.
the politics here is amazing, Im the boss and I am smarter than anyone else
leadership only implies that you know nothing about leadership.The first
stupid person to convince the other stupid person of the stupid idea
wins.If we dont change the way we support smart leadership, we will
continue to fail

well it seems that yearwood and his minions have raped the people of barrow
once again by giving just 15000 dollars to one of their buddies in a
lobbying group with a promise of 20000 more to follow.Time for them all to
go , be gone ye poxes upon the face of the people.
I guess we should not be surprised by any of this,nor should we be
surprised when they next come and tell us that they need a 100,ooo dollars
for one of their lobbying freinds to try and get some money for a bypass
around winder.
It is time for yearwood and company to go, it is time for the citizens to
stand up and say that enough is enough. Vote him out in the primary

you can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
they are not against you; they are merely for themselves

If Doug (I want to sell big city real estate} Garrison had not changed
Barrow into the metro Atlanta ARC, and left us rural, I doubt we would be
facing constraint from the EPA.
Thanks you dollar driven asswipe!

GET THE MAN SOME HELP.....

Warren Vs. Walton Ga Supreme Court Case Law
J. T. Walton, as Sheriff of Hancock County, filed a petition for the writ
of mandamus in the Superior Court of that county against Johnny Warren,
George Lott and Dwain Andrews, as members of the Board of Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues of Hancock County.
The complaint alleged in material part that the General Assembly of Georgia
at the 1973 Session enacted House Bill No. 867, Act No. 574 (Ga. L. 1973,
p. 3237), which was approved by the governor on April 17, 1973, a copy
attached and incorporated by reference; that this Act authorized the
Sheriff of Hancock County to appoint a chief deputy sheriff and three other
deputy sheriffs at specified salaries; and that in pursuance of this
authority the sheriff appointed three named deputies effectiveIt follows
that the salary and expenses of the sheriff, the salaries of the deputies
and the radio-equipped automobiles for their use constitute

"action affecting [an] elective county office, the salaries thereof, or the
personnel thereof," and that as such they are not subject to the
jurisdiction of the county governing authority(Hancock County Board of
Commissioners).

I've kept up with Rick Bridgeman, he is in Stephens County as an Assistant
DA. On top of his usual cases last year, he helped the feds with a
terrorism case (http://tinyurl.com/78j3uav) and seized two scrap metal
businesses that were violating the law and taking stolen metal
(http://tinyurl.com/7xsyxhn).

Unfortunately, last time I asked him he said he has no plans to run again.
He lost last time because a few of the Winder blue bloods and some of the
other Barrow GOB network didn't like that he rocked the boat and got things
done. Seems to me that was exactly what we needed.

Anybody else talking about running?

Just wondering why the Norton real estate office still has their Christmas
decorations up...can't find anyone on staff that is willing to do Real
work, or is Doug Garrison still wondering why he got coal and switches from
Santa? I'll answer the question for you Doug...you are way beyond the
naughty list, you created an economic disaster in Barrow County that has
impacted hundreds of families and especially their children.

it is time , people to start letting the man know that we are ready for him
to leave. In the 4 years that yarwood has been in office he has hobbled
barrow county with one boneheaded move after another.The latest was the
stolen bulldozer debacle with no insurance. now county taxpayers are on the
hook for nearly 80 thousand dollars.What does he care? he's not even a
taxpayer.
He gave away 35 thousand dollars last week to his buddy lobbyist to do his
and others job for him. In the last two weeks he has gone through nearly
100 thousand dollars of our money, but like I said what does he care, he
dont even pay taxes.In the last 3 monthes he has presided over the county
loosing another 150 tousand dollars in the ems license debacle,he blamed
his henchman for that but everyone knows that the buck stops with the
chairman. It is his responsibility and he shirked it.yearwood is a lame
duck on a spending spree, watch out or he will give marta another million
dollars. Stand up Barrow county vote

Ok who has the scoop? Was Sabrina fired?

Barrow County is realizing a great candidate and welcoming Pat Graham
graciously. We are fortunate to have someone with her experience and
knowledge.

Hopefully, Mr. Yearwood will save face and retire gracefully.

Yeah right! The months before we swear in Pat Graham could prove to be a
very troubling and expensive time for Barrow taxpayers. A decapitated
chicken flails and flaps before succumbing to the obvious. I hope the
sitting Commissioners hold him to a very hard and high level of constraint.

Pat Graham is Catholic. Do you all think she can be elected in Barrow Co?

Is that really necessary? What does that have to do with anything? Barrow
County has a diverse base of various faith beliefs that intersect within
our population. Please stay on task and evaluate each candidate on the
merits of their actual political experience,vs. the faith card.....
DuWayne

Would you say this if a Muslim were running?

Even if Pat was a Baptist, I'd vote and am voting for her!

Get your head out your ^?$#! This is 2012! Take your white hood off and
get on your knees.

I would ask if this is Robinson but I don't
think he can put a sentence together.

What kinda drugs did y'all do in your day?

Get real people! This is your children's future.

Hopefully he should know not to burn his bridges?

Speaking of, ... seems like Joe doesn't seem to realize what they did to
the county budget before they left. The Sheriff's budget was enough but
unnecessarily housing out all those prisoners.

Robinson's so dumb that he thinks he can come back for another round. He
should stay drunk down in his garage like he's always done.

Whats up with the Barrow Journal? Looks like most comments have been
deleted or they no longer allow comments to most stories.

Looks like B J web page has bit the dust.

Chip and Sabrina succeeded in pulling the plug on any thing said about
them. One whole article was deleted. And most comments in another.

and Sabrina file a lawsuit against Barrow Journal?

1. If your boss ask you to do something unethical and you do -- you can
and probably will be tossed under the bus (IE.. Fired) when the scheme
blows up.

There are a few county employees who are in this boat. Going to get
interesting when that boat sinks. "I need my job ....." Interesting
recording of a county employee!

2. If you want to slander someone, you can't do it on the Barrow Journal.

I know there is a lot of focus on the BOC races, but don't forget about the
BOE. Remember the largest % of your tax bill is for education and I don't
know about you, but if I pay for something I want it not to be a failure.
We need BOE members who care more about the taxpayers and Children in
Barrow County and not about their own personal agendas, good ole buddies
and their pocket books!!

Statham needs some new blood on the BOC,someone who can think out of the
box and not be led by the nose.
Jerry Lampe is old blood, old school, and had his turn.
He is not one of Larry Joe and Danny Yearwood's supporters but he is a
Garrison supporter all the way. He and Bill Brown will make five of
Garrison's old team on the BOC.
Watch for Bill Brown, he is coming too.

The old guard is lining up to run again, the loss of control of power is
more than they can bare,good ole boys die hard.
If memory serves, they weren't that good when they were in office.They only
did favors for those in their small circle.
Good ole days are over, new days ahead.

Here is what was happening to the journals site yesterday.Someone was going
into the various blogs slurring and attacking various people by name in a
most villianous way.Some of the stuff being written was sexual and perverse
in nature.This caused the editors to shut down the comments on that blog,
then the perpetrator simply moved over to another article and continued,
off topic and debasing statements were made until that article was shut
down.
The reason seems to be to foment public outrage against the newspaper in an
effort to silence the blogosphere.You have to know that the journal and
this website offers a sort of back yard exchange of ideas, and sometimes
gossip.Who benefits when the people and critics are silenced ??? The
incumbent political hacks AKA: yearwood and company.Not only does his
campaigne benefit the most, but the general nature of his character was
easily revealed in the content of the posts.He would stoop so low to hold
on to power, he would do anything.

Not sure if Danny was involved in the closure of posts, but he does want to
try and stay in his position. (Because he has nothing to fall back on.) I
do know this much, he has been kissing Jerry Maynards ass, and trying to
prevent enforcement of county ordinance as they relate to Jerry.
Here is some news for you Jerry, you aren't above the law! Garrison may
have let you slide on things, and Yearwood is too stupid to know how, but
the party is over.

It seems no matter who is running or claiming to be running for BOC or BOE,
nobody on this site likes any of the names. They don't like GOB's......They
donn't like Bankers, Real Estate Brokers or agents, they don't like
contractors, supply side, or otherwise, they don't like former BOC or BOE
or Airport Authority members, Chamber of Commerece members, or those who
ran for any of those offices, they don't like anyone who is even remotely
related to anyone from anywhere that ended up here, and somehow got elected
to office, and they especially don't like folks who use false blog names,to
pretend that they are running for office...... SO, if nobody likes anybody
for any public office,let's hear some names that everyone on this site will
agree to vote for..not just 1 or 2 folks.. but everyone...is that even
possible?..because if you use this site as an example for how Barrow County
feels about electing someone, all the seats on the BOC and BOE will be
empty...
DuWayne

This county has been known for being on the unethical side. From stealing
signs to making up lies and spreading them. Chances are that the attack on
the Barrow Journal if from one of the Good Ole Boy pet dogs. If they're
running for office, your gonna see more of this.

Keep us posted on what signs get stolen or damaged. Also, if they spread
lies, let us know to check up on them.

These people that have never held a regular job and get into office.
Trying to get them out is quite a fight! Chip's professionalism is very
low if he's stupid enough to bring a suit against the paper. When you get
into politics, that's what's happens. Know the game if you're going to
play it. As far as Yearwood, consider the source. He's as stupid as he
looks. Can you imagine how dirty that mustache is after kissing all those
butts?!

It looks like the little boys are playing dirty. Can you handle it?

I think that they just mostly dont like you.My latest poll numbers are back
up showing 99 out of 100 registered barrow county voters think that Jack
Legg could do a better job running the county than yearwood.Im beating you
inthe poll by 95 to 5,and Im running about even with graham, but she has
said nothing about her platform and everybody knows mine.So I think those
poll numbers will change some in my favor whenever she starts actively
talking about her plans for governance.

Power is a drug on which the politicians are hooked. They buy it from the
voters, using the voters own money

Please make available the actual poll you say you took, including names and
addresses, and phone #'s of the 100 people you say took part. Also please
identify what political party they will vote under in the real election.
Anything less than that proves that you are just blowing more smoke out as
usual...........

we usually just go to a page on the voteing roll book and start calling the
first two or three names, then we go to the next letter and call . the goal
is to get 3 to 4 people with each letter. We ask them if they are still
registered and plan on voteing.we mark their names off as we talk to them
so that we dont get the same people over and over as we do a number of
polls.As to which party ? well you figure that one out, you can go and pay
for the same list i did,im not giving it to you for free.keep on swining
buddy , you'll get there one day.

Dude, don't get into a pissing match with this idiot on line.

At least you have the set to use your own name. That can help you or hurt
you --

If you plan on running for the BOE again, PLEASE STOP. OMG

Jack Legg may or may not have gotten a list of voters from the voter
registration or SOS office. Not that expensive, but don't let a fool make
a fool of you.

Folks,i dont claim to be a saint,im not perfect not even close...but if you
dont wont to hear the truth...then dont ask!i dont claim to be some uppity
christian,although i do believe in god,and i know right from wrong.but
every time i hear eva elder say and i quote"im only doing what my atterneys
advised me to do"i want to throw up!!Ever since 2004 when eddie elder
pasted away,her so called family and i use that term
loosly,lied,mislead,run down,disrespect,steal,cheat and take from her what
is rightfully hers! Between eva good ole david and mark still,they have
managed to take everything that eddie had left for susan and her
kids!!thats just damn wrong...My dad passed 2 months after eddie of small
cell cancer,her daddy just quit breathing and no one cares why!!If eva
elder represents what church and bein a christian is all about,im glad to
say i dont go to her church.And what a commisioner...more like what a
joke??.Mark still lied ,misled susan while john stell let it slide!!

Check out all the foreclosures. Looks like Bartlett should have stuck with
framing pictures. Wonder how his partner is doing?

Let us all be reminded that Bill Brown cost the county $150,000, the
lawyer's bill on the failed Ten Commandments suit.

New blood, please, not old, failed pseudo-leadership.

Full house of supporters and wellwishers for Sheriff Smith's kick off for
re-election.
Great cross section of voters in attendance.
Sheriff Smith has done a great job in his first term, lets give him four
more years to continue his efforts to make Barrow a safer place to live.

Looks like Elder's seat is going to be a very sad race .Elder is in a very
tacky lawsuit that makes her look very bad and selfish.Bill Brown, former
commissioner,has been running for his old seat since he lost the last
election.Many things will come out that Bill Brown voted for and gifts that
he accepted while in office.
These two candidates need to go away quietly.

Lets get real about Bill Brown, he loves the perks.

If no one will vote for Elder or Brown in Dist.2,who else lives in that
Dist. that is willing to run against them? Who Else can we vote for?
Anybody know?

Just in the process of making up their mind, not just a candidate,but a
very good candidate.

Voting for Brown or Lamp would be like getting back together with your
ex-spouse.

have a candidate other than Brown or Elder. Don't worry, there will be
another running. A good person; she's educated, professional, not afraid
of anyone and willing to take on a challenge.

I'm more concerned about district 1. The last thing we need is Lampp or
his appointee, Goodman elected.

Beth Barton?

Susan Elder Ryan?

You guys are so far off base it's not funny. She's not a member of
Barrow's GOB society.

Grand re-opening of Yearwood's Used Cars,January 2013, Winder,Ga.

Was that a Super Bowl Commercial?
Just sitting here watching the game and thought I saw something about
YEARWOOD'S GRAND REOPENING of his car lot in 2013.

Damn that is good news,I was wondering why he paid all that big money to
the lobbiest to stop emission testing in Barrow County.
So he can fill up his used car lot with salvage cars,damn what a business
man.

District two candidates Susan and Beth, are they running against each other
or together as co-chairs?
I thought they were best friends.

danny the game is over. time to move on we need a new team.

never forget what yearwood has done to this county over the last 4 years,
he has been to barrow what obama has been to the USA. Nothing but
taketaketake, spendspebdspend all the while pretending to be cutting
spending and helping the working man.We dont need another double dose of
yearwood and obama to hit barrow again on the next go around.While we may
have but a tiny voice to vote barak out we have an overwhelming voice
together to unseat the great scourge danny yearwood.
This man has thrown away millions of dollars for absolutely nothing over
the last 4 years, has put his nepotic buddies into positions of power and
influence, has single-handly wrecked the good reputation of barrow county
around the state, and done in such an inept,clumsy manner that most people
figure him to be our version of otis.Do us all a favor dotis, and turn the
lights out when you lock yourself in the hoosegow.

what the following people have done.

Garrison
Lampp
Elder (both Evil and the late Eddie)
Brown
Kemp
Smith
King
Kelley
Caldwell
Stell (yes John Stell)
Withers

We don't need to vote for anyone related to any of these people. We don't
need to vote for anyone any of these people gave a position to (Like
Goodman).

We need to look for the new blood of the county. We need to look for
educated people. We need to look for someone who has a business
background; and by this I don't mean someone who's pissed daddy's business
away.
