I voted no because I have not heard any reason for it or against it . And if it is going to be some of my tax money I would like to be given a reason for it .
Always vote no when in doubt .
Let the three commissioners do the job they were elected to do, run the county.
Let the commissioners do there job, if they are ever tied to a cafaro vote them out on the next go around. Cafaro puppets have caused enough damage to this area. Sherriff Chance is just one example!
The reson for an adminstrator is to keep the Commissioners in focus when adminastrations change. It is good to have a goal and continue to carry it from start to completion no matter who is in office.
No! Just another feeder at the public trough. Complete with perks like pay for unused vacation and unused sick days.
The focus of the Commissioners should always be on efficient government. But, since we vote for the Commissioners, who are nominated by a political party, you can't keep politics out of the issue. You should know by now that efficiency and politics are almost mutually exclusive except for ONE area. Politicians (around here) are "efficient" at getting re-elected. Managing our money properly and in other administrative areas, the "efficiency" seems to fall off.
We can do without another feeder at the public trough.
The thing that most concerns me is that no one wants to own up on who is in charge. They all pass the buck, which is so wrong. Who is the person that states there is to be a layoff for example? They state," if you pass this tax there will be no layoff's" and then there it is layoff''s. How can a person do their job at work and worry constantly if they are next to go. Staff with the low pay that do all the work in the agencies get hit with layoff's, while the big shot administrations think its no big deal, what goes around comes around and don't forget that. need no administrator.
