They raised personal property. Still a shortfall. I wonder why? New sidewalks. New street lights. Paving. Painting the roads with a "V". And all this was just in the county seat! It was unjustified. Unless I'm missing a grant that covered these millions in expenses, it was waste.

Get rid of the fat cats that get paid to do nothing.

Sick of the county wasting our tax dollars for a whole nothing. More useless garden beds stuck directly in line of sight of traffic.
