Thanks so much for the update! I appreciate your hard work and the efforts of the Council to

address the needs of our county. Your updates truly help the citizens of this county understand the intricacies of how our County Council works and all they deal with....things that I have not fully understood before. I also appreciate your intention to stay on point and not get pulled into drama. You are truly a leader that we need. Kind regards!

On the whole, it was a good budget. As you said compromise is the necessary ingredient for our system of government to work. I hope next year we can restore the money for conservation and affordable housing. The high growth rate we are experiencing is creating urgency on both issues. There is a finite amount of property that is available for either purpose, and if we are not prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that arise, we lose those opportunities for good.

I appreciate your extensive and informative communications.
