Just curious why there’s no mention of the extensive oversight that will be required to actually implement additional fees. It’s not only important to remind citizens that they can vote these officials out, but also let them know that there’s a lot more that goes into adding fees compared to increasing property taxes.. This is what people need to know about. This is the journalism we need right now.

Tell us what hoops they have to jump through to actually throw more fees at us to make up the difference. Tell us how there will be less fraud with the money that we pay in fee fees, compared to our property tax dollars that seemingly disappear.

And please look into the public parks and the funds associated with those. They’ve allocated thousands and thousands of dollars to playgrounds that were never built. They lock the gates on public parks that are tax dollars pay for. Our Clay County School’s own property… property that certain athletic Association pay one dollar for in the span of 10 years and they have control over that land and kick our kids out of the parks near their homes. These good old boy agreements need to be exposed.

Thank you for a levelheaded analysis of the situation. One question- is there a method established to recall county commissioners? This may be helpful if the commission’s response to padding Amendment 3 is to start increasing or creating other levies.
