The WayneWho staff finds it amazing that the Federal Government has had to once again step in and fix a mess in Osceola County. While our commissioners like to talk tough about how worried they are of the 'Vanilla Scare' of our country being taken in a socialist direction by an administration that advocates the conservative value of personal responsibility, they once again have forced the Federal Government to step in an solve a problem that they could not make a decision on by themselves. First it was voting rights, then it was voting rights again, and now the Federal Government is having to step in and tell Osceola County to shut down a landfill or face fines. Maybe we could cut the budget by getting rid of the middleman commission and just set up a more efficient system of local order takers that let the Federal Government make all the decisions. There would be very little difference between this and what our leaders are doing right now except that it would finally give us the ability to lower taxes. It would also keep our county from looking like a bunch of know-nothings that can't figure out the concept of self-government.We urge the County Commission to start using that experience that they promised they had during the election season. We can only hope that the newly instituted practice meetings will allow them to finally get Osceola County government under control and turn it in the direction the citizens have asked for. Let's make things right and not force outsiders to fix all of our problems. Take some responsibility. We can do it.

Maybe the county manager told them to let the feds do all the work. That seems to be how things are working. The commission just does what ever the CM says because they don't know what they are doing.
The problem is that nobody cares about a landfill unless it is bothering them. The rest of the county does not look at this as an issue of gross incompetence on the part of the commissioners as they should. During election time they will vote for these guys again and then they will whine when their taxes go up. Then they will spend weeks crying about the county managers suspenders.
Would someone please do some research before they throw around the word "socialist". You all are using it wrong, just like the republican party.
I don't think Wayne used the word "socialist" wrong. They just used the same line local republicans keep using. I guess in that sense it is wrong, but that is probably his point.
