Here are the last two questions I was able to get on video before my battery died in the middle of Ray McBerry’s answer for the second question.
The Fifth question is in two parts again due to youtube’s strict 10 minute limit, and involves infrastructure spending:
Part 1:
Part 2:
I do apologize for the more-than-normal shaking at the beginning of this video. I was sitting on the back row during this event, and when John Oxendine got up to leave I asked Gerry Purcell to tape for a moment so I could introduce myself to John briefly and shake his hand as he walked out the door. He was “very busy” and barely acknowledged me, but I did tell him my name and shook his hand – which was really all I was aiming for. Just to get a chance for him to see me offline. Anyway, I do want to thank Mr. Purcell for backing me up while I did that, it was very nice of him.
The Sixth question was “Do you see any areas where State government could cut back?”. As I said earlier, my battery died about halfway into Ray McBerry’s answer, and I missed Eric Johnson’s answer entirely.
Jeff, great job on covering the Tift Forum. Every Georgian should view it. Thanks for taking the time to film everything. We’ll have to get you a tripod {or Gerry Purcell a steadier hand!} Actually, I was glad to hear Gerry took the time to attend the event. Hes a great guy, and will hopefull have the oppurtunity to be our next insurance commissioner. His record speaks for itself-honest,capable,hardworking, and a wife and staff to be envied by most politicians. Together, they all make a great team! Thanks again for keeping us informed.
