Having now been a local elected official for two years, I have some thoughts I would like to share with you. Let me start by saying, like a lot of you I mostly get my news online and rarely read print editions these days. I do still find some value in them, particularly in seeing some of the local opinion pieces.
I can say, with no reservations at all, on the local level the Fiscal Court works well together. I think if you asked Magistrate (Keith) Metcalfe about being the only Democrat on the court currently, he would say that while we don’t always agree on everything, his opinion is always valued and weighed appropriately. I wish that was the case in all governing bodies…
