This budget work session is extremely informative about the various county initiatives. It is important enough that it deserves its own thread.
Why are these programs essential? Which programs have perhaps outlived their usefulness?
First, the BOCS should be commended for sitting in the board room to do this exercise, even though there were more comfortable places to hold this session. The board room is the only place to have the meeting televised.
I am very disappointed that Supervisors Candland and Lawson aren’t voting on line items. They disapproved of the process so they are currently abstaining from voting. They didn’t get their own way.
The budget work session is preliminary screening. It isn’t a forever vote. I feel not voting is obstructionism. Let’s all see how EVERYONE votes.
Hopefully we will keep getting reports from inside the meeting. The board room is not packed to the gills. (from what I can tell.) Good crowd but I see several open seats.
