At the Mecklenburg County Commission meeting last night, two Democrats voted to oppose the School Building Solution Committee?s recommendations. Their ?no? vote lies in their opposition to the county issuing Certificates Of Participation (COPs), and desiring a 2006 bond vote so ?the public can voice their opinion.?? However, no one mentions the fact a bond campaign pours money into a ?get out the vote? campaign in Democratic precincts.? Last year the bond campaign raised and spent more than $300,000. Since county commission campaigns would coincide with the 2006 bond campaign, motivation probably lies other than simply giving the public a chance to ?voice opinions!??
