Editor:
The meeting (last) Thursday has nothing to do with balancing the percentages for the entities voted in by the citizens. It is to increase the percentage of their two friends to 42 percent, and by defintion lower the percentages to the groups that were designated to recieve the money.
They, the two employees, are already, and have been for several months, maybe years taking 42 percent of the money and putting it in their bank account. The mandate by the voter was 29 percent. They did an unsatisfactory job and an audit was ordered by the state and that audit proved it.
Who do you think is paying for their benefits, retirement and insurance? We, the citizens and taxpayers are because they are county employees.
If the citizens let them get away with this scam, the next thing will raising the tax to 3 percent or more. These commissioners do not care what the taxpayers want, they have their own personal agenda and will ignore the taxpayers. After all, they all have two mores years to the next election. Maybe a recall is in order?
As usual, I can be reached at clagg@comcast.net.
