Well, it’s time to discuss the county commissioner situation again. Overall, I think it is very good, with the exception of the lady commissioner. I don’t understand why the Republican Party higher-ups don’t call for her to resignation and replace her with someone who will work for the other two commissioners. It’s not a healthy situation to have someone with such a negative attitude. Rarely does she ever agree with the other two commissioners. We need to have positive thinking on all sides of the agenda.

I regard Mr. Vince Vicites as one of the most dedicated men in public office in the last 20 years. He has done much for this county and will continue throughout his next term in office. Vince works well with other public officials, on the local, state, and federal levels. His experience in all these matters makes him very much needed for this county to move forward and take us out of the “poorest county in the state” label that has hung around our neck for a long, long time.

As for Vince Zapatosky, I hope you break one of your campaign promises; you said you only wanted to run for two terms and then depart the office. Vince, we need you for at least four or five terms, so you and Vince V. can work together getting this county on track and moving forward.
