The Founding Fathers intended that the people take active role in the political process in OUR country.  The Public hearing was sparsely attended this evening with no more than 60 people, the vast majority were teachers and other county employees.  I commend those that were on hand to speak their concerns. I also want to thank Board Member Carson Tucker for stating  that we, as a county are headed for a train wreck if we don't make cuts now, and not wait until  the Federal money dries up.
