Teaching moment for the commissioners. Folks, contact your commissioner and tell him or her to stop wasting their time and ours. The additional money is not required at this considering the funds about to come the county’s way. Fiscal responsibility is important. Grover, vote no this time please.

Economic Development, what a JOKE! All these people do is throw good money down a dark hole. Where are the good jobs for this area. If Young people want to make a good living, they have got to leave this area. I still don’t see any improvements in the north end of the county. Kevin White hasn’t shown me anything he’s done for those people. Same old story. We’ll see if Mr. Barry follows in the same foot steps.

Isn’t it funny that the utility which has steadily been getting more of your money is against this!

Isn’t it funny that our county commissioners kept this grand idea quiet until right after the elections. Maybe they suspected a pro tax stand on this or any other issue would have meant sure defeat. Read My Lips, No NEW TAXES

No new taxes!!! Find a more profitable way to spend the tax dollars and funds that you already have. Government spending usually leads to waste anyway. Don’t tax necessities!!

Call your commissioner an tell him no way they don’t do anything for us out here any way. but I think it will fall on deaf ears with Kiven White he don’t care and never has.

Government needing more money is like an addict on crack. Once government is hooked on your money, which by the way it already is, it’ll want more and more to satisfy this ever growing addiction.
