  1. Should be called SLUSH Fund just more money for the commissioners to waste. We do not need a water park. WE had a state of the arts Marina but with no money to fix and repair it , it is now in terrible shape They need to take care of what we have instead of always building new stuff

  2. At this point, I believe that someone is going to have to convince me that voting for this package is a good idea. For starters, far too much being spent on parks and not nearly enough on blight remediation.

  3. If the commissioners want voters to vote in this proposal then they should require a fair vote, i.e. picture ID, No mail in ballots (other than legitimate absentee ballots), and proper poll watchers. Do they really want a fait vote?
