Thank you county commissioners for this enlightening podcast. I enjoy the conversations you have with each other which show how well you work together as you provide so much useful information on how county government works. I also learned a lot from the interviews you have had with various county workers. Please keep the information coming.

This is an excellent podcast for many different reasons: first, you get to hear first hand, how your commissioners think, their positions on issues, and their general attitude toward providing excellent service to the community. Secondly, it lets you know a lot about how county government actually works and not only the challenges they face each day, but their many accomplishments. thirdly it is a good study of community dynamics, controversial issues, nuts, and bolts operations, and all the moving parts it takes to make the county function.
If you live here, you owe it to your self and our community to take a listen.
