I think the employees with Barrow County are being the chopping block for the Commissioners ezpecially Mr.Yearwood!! They have cut their pay, cut their hours and it is getting to be where you don't know what to do. I know what we need to do, start a recall petition for Mr. Yearwood! Apparently he doesn't know as much as he thought he did. He wants to run every department but he needs to leave that to the department heads - that is what they are getting paid for. I voted for him but now I wish I could recind that vote!
hmmmmm

you live in commerce and voted for the barrow election hmmmm that don't add up....misrepresenting i say. Yearwood is only cutting the jobs of certain employees as in the ones that has been there in the less amount of time and the ones that are so close to retirement that they are need to go ahead a do so, from what i understand they all will be on what is called a call back status and the ones that they are asking for early retirement for are getting a better deal. I have family that work in the barrow county govt so yes it does hit close to home but the rumors that are running wild need to stop. let yearwood do the job that REAL barrow county citizens elected him to do. all you in jackson county need to shut up....yes thats you in commerce...yearwood is ONLY cleaning up the mess that our previous govt made.
