Brown, the resolution states, has “exemplified efficient and effective government throughout almost a decade of service” as congressman. He has “consistently supported Georgetown County’s port and dredging efforts.” The resolution continues by stating Brown has helped with the improvements at the Georgetown Airport. “Georgetown County Council wishes to recognize... Brown for his accomplishments...and for serving the people and voters of Georgetown County,” the resolution supporting the Republican congressman concludes.
Seriously, what is Council thinking here. Is it politics? Is it the attempt to stay favorable with Rep. Brown for future projects? Look, call a spade a spade. No matter what, it is his job to request money for his district. But somehow, money skipped the port in Georgetown.
Here's what I shared at the Georgetown Times' Web site:
Supporting and following through are two different things here. I could support funding for dredging as well, but if I do not follow through and make sure I get what I ask for, then it's all for publicity. I ask County Council or the Times to expand further and list specifically the times and successes of Brown's "consistent support" of dredging Georgetown's port. Requesting 11 million for the issue, then receiving far less shows a lack of follow through. If there are specifics to refute this, please let Georgetown County know.
GOPher Brown has a better record on wasting taxpayer dollars on "calendars" than getting money for Georgetown. Better yet, he has no local office here. Now, you tell me... What makes you think he'll do a huge favor for us when he doesn't even visit regularly or have a office location here for people to visit?
