The commissioners’ hiring a public info officer at $115K raises concerns, given the high taxes paid by residents. Instead of an overpaid spokesperson, the commissioners can show transparency and good governance through their actions. There is a clear need to make meetings more accessible, improve communication, and provide video recordings. Using these steps and speaking directly can tackle issues at a fraction of the cost of hiring a political friend. Residents prefer unfiltered communication with their officials. Are commissioners clear about how our taxes are used, and can they communicate with the public.
