People who are not responsible and do not recognize that they must guard their freedoms are often the victims of political stings wherein RIG HTS are gone and they never realise they lost them. CRAG (which means Columbia Region Association of Gov ernments) is something that Columbia County elected of ficials apparently believe would be a good thing. There are many questions that are really unanswered to the public, for example, how are we taxed? Who benefits from it? How much does It cost of our liberties? These questions really have not been answered by our Commissioners and as you know there is a recall petition in existence that needs sig natures of people who are responsible about their govern ment.
