These troubles have been even
further aggravated by the Board of
County Commissioners failing to act
p ro m p tly to co n clu d e th e in
vestigation of the planning d ep art
ment.
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

the county's development with the
best interest of its citizens at heart.
