I want to thank Commissioners Garry King, Bill Hayes, and Bill Brandenburg for removing the $12.5 million "placeholder" from the county's budget. They acted responsibly to not only serve all the county's citizens but to effectively use our financial resources. This issue has become so divisive that it should be put on hold. Perhaps in a few years and in a better economic climate the Commission as a whole can re-visit it.

Sincerely,

Betty Hilliard
