No justice in use of 1 percent funds




The county board told the community that the state will not allow 1 percent tax dollars to fund a stand alone pool. Rep. Dill informs us this is not the truth.

The county board told the community that the state will not allow 1 percent tax dollars to be given to a private business. Now they have awarded $4 million to Arrowhead Electric, a private business.

The county board’s 1 percent lines appear to be 100 percent lies! As the community sits quiet, I ask what lessons about honesty, respect, trust, and doing the right thing have we taught the youth in the community?

There must be close to 100 people who wear a badge in this community yet there appears to be no justice!
