Can anyone really explain it....

We hear that the county is deeply in debt but beyond that we do not know the extent. The current condition no doubt impacts on services and taxpayer's expectations for needed county improvements. As long as we don't know the exact indebtedness, we will assume that the condition is beyond repair. That leads to the question of whether anyone in the county can fix the problem. Seeing what is happening across the country shows us that the problem exists in many other places as well. While its tempting to ask commissioners to forego their salaries, the savings may not be much of a solution. Instead commissioner's should let us know how serious the problem is and help explore serious solutions that are working in other parts of the state.
