Welcome to one of several pages we feature on this website where you can read about information you don't normally hear from other sources. We believe that each resident of our county and city are entitled to hear all the sides of issues. With this understanding we present information that most people don't have access too. Informed residents make better choices when it comes time to vote and voice their opinions on the direction of our community. We are not here to throw stones are blame. We ask questions and hopefully “spark” conversation by our residents and friends.
