Glenn Pirkle endorses Lorraine Green

July 19, 2008 | 7:12 pm

Unfortunately, Glenn Pirkle has decided to endorse Lorraine Green.  I do not know what Green told him during their recent meeting, but he appreantly believes that she is the better choice to achieve his objectives for Gwinnett.  I hope his supporters will further consider their runoff vote, however, and not simply follow Mr. Pirkle’s suggestion.

Reading thorugh Pirkle’s website, I tend to agree with many of the views he expresses.  He is obviously not a fan of big government.  In response to the socialized garbage program that the current commission is foisting upon Gwinnett residents, he asks “Is the next step to tell the people of Gwinnett County where they will buy groceries and gas?”  If his supporters have a similar limited government viewpoint, Lorraine Green is absolutely the wrong choice for them in the runoff.  Even if they are not completely sold on Charles Bannister, the incumbent chairman offers a much better chance to limit the reach of government and, as such, deserves the votes of Pirkle backers.

I would like to say I agree with Pirkle’s observation about parents dropping kids off at school and the traffic that engenders.  This was not really an issue for the Board of Commissioner, but I would like to see someone push the school board on this matter.  I am not sure a fee is feasible or even legal, but there should be some way to encourage greater usage of the transportation services that the school system makes available.
