The Judge, Commissioners, and their legal counsel had two full months to prepare for yesterday’s vote on audit firm criteria. Commissioner Drewry came ready to work – with solutions. Others arrived with “unexpected” legal questions as yet another reason to stall. Meanwhile, your tax dollars keep flowing out and our roads keep deteriorating.
