Letter: Response to Frustrated with Fiscal Court

Heather Spoon writes:
I would like to personally say, "THANK YOU!", to Marsha Collins for having the guts to say what so many people in our community are feeling.

Once this tax is passed, I hope all these gentlemen will move on to the responsible implementation and evaluation of the tax and leave this style of doing county business in the rear view.

Thank you,
Heather
