— I’m a voter in Allegany County and my name is John Fatkin. I would like to say the best way to defeat the current county commissioners is in the 2010 primary election because those three commissioners on Kelly Road have raised taxes to taking away the Sheriff’s Road Patrol.
Don’t be fooled by these three current county commissioners if the people don’t defeat them in the 2010 primary, then the only other way to defeat them is in the 2010 general election.
Because if we the voters don’t vote them out in the 2010 primary or 2010 general election, then you know how they’ll keep the Bureau of Police in existence they’ll raise more and more taxes until we had enough.
The primary election is always the deciding factor who goes on to November and primaries are also elections for incumbents to determine if the residents wants to keep its current elected officials.
So in the 2010 primary, please, everyone who votes, get up and vote. For those who aren’t registered to vote and don’t vote — as the saying, goes you don’t have a voice unless you vote.
