Wow, those are some harsh words... Not showing respect towards those who served in years past speaks volumes for your personality and discredits any points you try to make "ovrtxedmaina"... We're not kids playing in a sandbox here... grow up.report abuse

SmrsetSentry I have been paying for many years and what I remember is the former commissionsers long unprofessional dragged on meetings, commssioners falling asleep at meetings and one commissioner missing several meetings. Furhtermore, I looked into your comment about the computor system costing 750k that is not true it was less than 150K went to RFP, the personal using the equipment I am told are very pleased with the change, it was long overdue. Change is not always easy to accept but in my opinion the current commisoners and the leader as you put it have done a pretty good job so far. MANY of the current employees have said, "that these commissioners have done so much good in a short period of time and they can't imagine going back as to how things used to be run, the County is actually proceeding into the 21st century an no longer in the 19th" . Not my words but words of people that work for the county currently. This does not sound the a commision that is not doing its job. Status quo usually does recive much attention so the fact that some people are unhappy only leads me to believe that progress is being made. Keep up the good work, ommissioner Quinn, Roy and Dumbphy.report abuse

This is no Rant... Just a call for financial responsibility and an urge for ALL county residents to pay atention to the spending habbits of our Commisioners.

I'm glad to see that I got your attention
