John Cornetta has generously offered the city of Johns Creek $3000 toward the purchase of a new firetruck. Unfortunately the mayor, Mike Bodker, has some strange political agenda up his sleeve and has refused the donation. For some reason Bodker feels the need to pilfer the pockets of the tax payers, rather than take free money when it is offered. Cornetta, a successful business owner, should be commended for his efforts to subsidize a firetruck for the city of Johns Creek since the mayor has not purchased one since the city was formed on December 1, 2006. Presently fire and police services are contracted to Fulton County. Some believe the mayor has snubbed Cornetta because of his business of operating adult video stores. Regardless of the political or moral implications, Mr. Cornetta has offered the tax payers of Johns Creek some savings on building their city. Any accountant will tell you that 1% savings is better than 0% and anything more than 1% is gravy. You don’t have to be an Asian rocket scientist to understand the numbers. I would hope that an old white guy like Bodker could understand 5^th grade math, but apparently not. The mayor and the voters of Johns Creek need to realize that the only thing in play here are the numbers. Turning down free for a more expensive option never makes good economic sense.
