Not so sweet

To the editor:

At the Cherry Pie debate, Jim White raised an important point about rising county spending. I didn’t realize our spending has increased by nearly 30% over the past 2-1/2 years, while taxes are up almost 20%. The county has committed millions to projects that come with ongoing costs and obligations, yet only benefit a small portion of residents. Our community deserves smarter financial decisions. Jim White brings the accountability we need. Vote Jim White for County Commissioner, District #4.
