Gracedale is why bridges will fall down and roads will continue to deteriorate. Eventually, the people will speak again about the out of control cost of Gracedale. Defenders are comfortable with leaving a deteriorating infrastructure to the next generation. Just send the grandkids the bill.

John Cusick was a fence sitter, but could have brought a resolution to a vote to place the question on the ballot without the need for signatures and he did not do it. He will never get my vote. I don't trust Mr.Dietz as he is a tea party conservative. Mr. Phillips really really burns me up. Wants to charge me more for less services. He would sell Gracedale in a minute. All the more reason Barron has my vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-72185498198054980872015-10-13T18:18:42.767-04:002015-10-13T18:18:42.767-04:00And it was budgeted to lose money and will still l...And it was budgeted to lose money and will still lose money.

Isn't the census recovered to full or near full? Aren't increasing deficits projected for as far as can be forecast? Regardless of which side you're on (if you choose to be on a "side"), if candidates don't discuss their intentions to keep it in county hands - or not, and what to do with the bleak financials, they are not honestly discussing county business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-35741720621265604212015-10-13T07:53:35.540-04:002015-10-13T07:53:35.540-04:00"The place has never run better and current p..."The place has never run better and current projections show losses approaching $10 million."<br /><br /><br />Great non-objective statement.
