Cary Kelly is right choice for county

| October 28, 2012 7:00 AM

We taxpayers must be our own problem solvers. We have an opportunity to remove a major  portion of a source  of discord and lack of cooperation within the county offices.

In-house political scuffling and verbal snipping are unproductive and unacceptable. It is possible to solve our county’s problems in an adult manner. Missteps have left us with massive courthouse replacement costs, poorly-timed wage increases and an awkwardly-timed proposed tax increase that coincided with a sharp loss of property value and a leaping unemployment rate.

It seems fair to assume that most of these problems could have been avoided or mitigated by information sharing and cooperation. We pay for competency and efficiency and we must stand fast to see that we get it.  

Cary Kelly will fight for cooperation and fair, well-thought out solutions. Vote for Cary Kelly for county commissioner.
