| - Fisher County Jail - |
In budget talks, there were a lot of numbers tossed around confusingly. A declaration from one commissioner that he would not approve a budget in deficit, then going on to approve the budget, did not make anything clearer.
It seems the jail has been left out, but I couldn't tell you for sure. I would recommend money for them to buy a case of Round Up. There are tumbleweeds as big as cows in that yard.
Aesthetically, I wish they would turn the commissioners tables around so they didn't have to talk over their shoulders to address the judge and the clerks.
Whoever is clicking a pen throughout the meeting should be suppressed, Alice in Wonderland style.
I wonder, do these people talk to each other before meetings? Everyone except the auditors are ill prepared. The judge seemed angry that members did not know about a Nolan County attorney he was going to propose for Fisher County usage, despite his having told no one of the plan.
I don't understand the justification for raising tax rates by any of the entities. They are begging poor, but people have paid more taxes in the past two years to the county than in their whole lifetime, due to oil royalties. Multiply that by however many people are on a lease and that adds up to a lot of money. Those amounts are easily verified on the appraisal district site, in case you think I'm exaggerating.
But, what do I know? I'm just an observer. You can be one, too. The Double Mountain Chronicle broadcasts the meetings live on facebook, and the county places video of the meetings on the home page of their website. Just look up to the right and click on youtube.
