All six Cobb mayors have endorsed Tim Lee in the upcoming special election for chairman of the Cobb Board of Commissioners.

On Monday Lee announced the endorsement of Acworth's Tommy Allegood, Austell's Joe Jerkins, Kennesaw's Mark Mathews, Marietta's Steve "Thunder" Tumlin, Powder Springs' Pat Vaughn and Smyrna's Max Bacon.

The six mayors said in a press release that they "respect Tim Lee for his proven leadership ability and his deep commitment to serious leadership for the entire county. Tim is a consensus builder who always shows great respect for the people of Cobb and their elected officials on all levels.

"We know we can work collaboratively with Tim to provide the best services to our people."

I guess David Poteet is now endorsing Tim Lee, he said he would be neutral because of his paper; I guess Lee needs at least one homeowner in his corner. The rest of us haven’t forgotten that we were forgotten by mister photo op Tim Lee.

Talk County Club how about Jo Ann Birrell taking Tim Lee out to dinner for $240.00; Property Tax you must be on the Tim Lee Kool Aid. Just remember if you go to Tim’s fund raisers you need BMW and $250.00 or don’t show up.

A write in candidate would be a better choice than these two pin heads.

A consensus builder who shows great respect for the people of Cobb?

How about great respect for the small group that can donate to his campaign and advance his career

Black mail is alive and well Tim has put the word out, get on my team or you could have funding problems. The future Don has put the word out and wants homage. Tim couldn’t even get his old job as district three commissioner!! Though me a life line I have fallen and can’t get up!!

Hey, I wonder why not one Mayor endorsed the buffoon from the Country Club? Maybe the Mayors know what a wreck Cobb County would become if Savage is successful in his stumbling path to the election.

Sounds like a giant Cory Fest, Tim never had an original thought that Sam Olens didn’t put there. Ask the homeowner groups that put him in office, you don’t see them helping Tim this time!! So much for consensus building yea right; anybody but Tim Lee. If Tim Lee gets in this county will be overrun by the chamber and special interest groups, like pigs to the trough.
