This investigation has been going on for over seven months and now many of those who had alleged charges against the planners will not even meet with the investigation committee because of its lack of action. It's time for the county com missioners to act to get the planning departm ent back into the business of “ planning" the county with the help of county residents This county is growing at a rapid rate and it is in need of good strong planning departm ent which will guide the county's development with the best interest of its citizens at heart.

By establishing this m oratorium , the Planning Commission is saying the planning departm ent is not abie to do its job The intent of this m oratorium is to enable the countv planners to have some time to get back to the duties of “ planning” the county. This action added to the list of other problems as the current investigation of the county planning commission and its director; lack of public ac ceptance of the proposed county comprehensive plan; and a suit charging the legality of the county’s N atural Rivers Act seem to say the county planners are in reai trouble.
