Patricia Hay, of Mableton, urged commissioners to delay a vote for at least 60 days.
“This deal is happening too fast. It’s been two weeks, and we spent two years discussing whether or not we could have chickens in the back yards,” Hay said, receiving applause referring to heated conversations the county had about whether or not Cobb is an appropriate place for farm animals.
Hay held a hand-written sign above her head that read “No taxation without representation” before addressing commissioners and likening the rushed vote to the haste in which the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare, was passed by Congress.
“You say there’s all these benefits but they’re projected, and we don’t know we’re going to get all of these benefits from it, but we do know we’re going to be paying for it,” Hay said.
