DEL.ICIO.USBeaudreau on the big screen … sort of
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We told Mike Beaudreau we’d try to beat rush hour traffic to his get to campaign announcement last Tuesday evening. We failed, but we were able to watch all 7 minutes and 13 seconds of it on YouTube. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6epIHqDa9Bw. By the way, Beaudreau isn’t running for president as we speculated in last week’s column. He was just being coy when he refused to say publicly what office he’s seeking. Surprise, surprise. Beaudreau is running for re-election as Gwinnett’s District 3 Commissioner.

That is indeed great news. Competence and integrity have been very thin but have thickened up nicely over recent years, thanks to Mike, Lorraine, and Bert.

He needs to be defeated. I have met him and he is a nice guy but he stands in the way of progress too often for my taste. I am tired of watching him deny cell phone tower after cell phone tower , thus limiting many Gwinnett residents quality access to the wireless services that so many use. All this while, despite multiple cases that explain the need for these towers, displaying his lack of understanding of why cell phone towers are needed where they are proposed.
Furthermore, I get the sense that he is cool to development which I consider anti-progress. Like it or not, developers are members of the community as well and these developers are the source of many of the homes we live in, the stores we shop at, and the the other businesses that we frequent. He is hardly alone in his allegiance to homeowners whose myopic focus on their “view” or their wait at the stop sign exiting their neighborhood frustrates the efforts of others to realize economic gain from the property they own. We need nice guys in politics, but we need nice guys who will not stand in the way of private property rights.
