Friends, as a County Commissioner I tried to put up a blog every week discussing what happened at the County Commission meetings. I would like to continue these updates and will be posting to this blog the legislation that has passed the House each week. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or thoughts about any of these bills at any time. Thanks, and I hope this is helpful!
