Call me Bubba is what Lamar Mixon told me at the beginning of this interview. There are a lot of “Bubbas” out there and it is always good to see one getting into politics. According to Bubba the Toombs County Board of Education is populated with members who don’t have kids in the school system. Now, that seems odd.
Bubba is Toombs County born and bred. He married a girl from Vidalia who is a teacher at Robert Toombs Christian Academy. Bubba is the proud father of 3 more Mixons.
Bubba seems to have the most important quality for a politician on a local level: he wants to serve his fellow citizens. He doesn’t have to. He wants to. He doesn’t have time, but he still wants to. It will cause him to change things in his life and his family, but he still wants to.
More power to more Bubbas in this unusual election year of 2008.
If you are from Toombs County, you need to listen to the interview so you can make an informed decision and vote.
Having children in the Toombs County School system I know first hand the problems we as parents and the children face. Our school board is nothing but a party for old men to sit around drink coffee and put their ADULT children into higher paying jobs. Do they care about what is going on with our children? NO it is a me thing with them. Parents we need people like Bubba to stand up and fight we do not have that now. I have been to school board meetings the members are very rude and really do not care what is going on with our kids. Lets PRAY that in 4 years Mr. Mixon will run again and if he does Mr Tomblin watch the parents are behind him 100%. But you really can not say you won sir you got lucky!!
