reduce expenses. What happened to the idea floated a year ago to have our budgets examined by a fiscal expert to detect possible inefficiencies?
I ask the supervisors and county administrator to examine the whole process critically, and exercise new creative approaches.
Could it be that our zoning and our comprehensive plan are out of touch with reality? Taxes go up, inevitably, but let us look at how efficient we are in running the schools and the county, before we demolish what we have worked so hard to create.
I say again: realign the school and county budgets and approve them at the same time. That would be a step in the right direction.
