Cherokee County Politics

Local campaigns are in full swing around Cherokee County as several key seats are available. I have always believed that if you are in real estate, then you are also in politics. Politicians have so much power to affect the value and property rights to your home and land. I have written many times why many current Cherokee commissioners goals of ’slow growth’ are a poor way to plan for the future.

I hope the citizens of Cherokee County will elect some forward thinking commissioners who will plan for smart growth and not try to manage growth or slow it down. It has been proven that land-use regulations can adversely affect the cost of living and can severely stifle growth. If you are not growing, then you are dying.

I also find it funny to watch local politicians double their pay with one vote. Too bad every Cherokee resident can’t double their pay to cover increased taxes with a single vote.
