CRAG
The STING is a con job wherein yon take advantage ot a
person, hopefully without the person ever realizing that he
has been taken. 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
