Comment: Set aside finger pointing and focus

By Vicky Pike

This is about providing services not finger pointing.

We all have our opinion on what is going on in our county. Set aside the finger pointing. Who is right who is wrong? There is enough blame to go around on both sides. This whole mess centers on an occupational tax all but 10 now 9 counties in the state have. Those who work out of the county pay it. They have to if they want to work in that county.

We have seen we can't operate without our beloved Sheriff's Office. Well this goes further. Most county employees are way underpaid compared with what other counties are paying. Sooner or later those qualified people are going to have to choose to go elsewhere for better pay. They have to. There is such a difference in pay they can't afford not to.
