We have lost sight of the bigger picture

I don’t get it. First we need a mediator so the county commissioners can talk to each other and now we need separate counsel so they can talk with other elected officials. Sounds like my tax dollars are being wasted because we have lost sight of the bigger picture.

Who cares if there are disagreements on an issue? There should be. Lively debate with different opinions is healthy and good for the county and the country. Speak your mind and get it on the table but realize at the end of the day nothing happens if two forces can’t come to an agreement for the better of the county and its residents. Achieving nothing is not governing. Its just collecting a paycheck.
