So you are sure that the pro side will lose a member ? Who is running?........I think the at large member is the best option But I understand that the anti- side has but one goal delay delay delay and a 4-4 tie would work out to the same thing as a majorty for them and there goals......I personaly think the tie-breaker is a good option but ONLY in the short term I think that the ball needs to get rolling on getting a 9th member or redistricting down to 7 (but that is just me)

How many districts does Wise Co have now?:D And when folks are talking about letting the "chairman" vote, does that mean the member that is chairman now doesn't vote at present? Seems as if the moral majority is only "moral" as long things go their way. We still need to improve schools. Renovate them all or build new ones. The first estimate was 54 mil, during the Basham era (to renovate). Wonder how much the same work would cost today.

If there wasn't the danger of it, no it wouldn't be an issue, you all act like this is some secret or someone has tried to hide it. Though the more I see, IMO it will be a moot point, Greear has a lot of support in the 4th. Dude, stuff like this goes on all the time, one side uses stall/delay measures while the other tries to bypass it...it DOES happen all the time, so no I wouldn't have a cow. I'm all for productivity continuing, without this the schools are screwed in every single way not even with consolidation in the picture and it's completely legit...not my fault some are ****ed because they won't get to delay and further hold the educations of wise co. kids hostage anymore so they can keep rooting for their bulldogs, deacons, widlcats etc on Friday night.
