Why can’t full $40 million in parks bond be issued?
Jan 16, 2017
DEAR EDITOR:
Perhaps our county officials might enlighten us as to what specific language in the referendum (authorizing the $40 million parks bond) prevents the full $40M in bonds from being issued. Various and sundry allusions to it do not answer that question. What is that language and who is construing or interpreting it?

Hail to the Chief (chairman)
Jan 16, 2017
DEAR EDITOR:
I sent congratulatory emails to all Board of Commissioners members, including Chairman Boyce, concerning their passage (5-0) of the 2008 Park Bond on Jan. 10. Voters approved this $40M bond in 2008 by a 67 percent yes vote. Since payments were missed until now, the bond could only be funded at $24.7 million. I feel absolutely certain that Chairman Boyce will find $15.3 million to fully fund the bond. Unlike the previous chairman, he actually listens to residents and voters. Not only does he listen, he acts. It is so fantastic to have a chairman who does so.
