Story County Supervisors 7:34 minutes

7:34 minutes.

This is the amount of time you will need to spend to find out how the Story County Board of Supervisors does business.

It was one thing to read about the 7:34 minutes in The Tribune and quite another to hear the audio tape from the April 15, 2010 meeting.

The Tribune says “The strife is palpable between Strohman and the two long-serving board members”.

Yes, the “strife is palpable”!  Jane Halliburton, James Strohman, and Wayne Clinton are caught in the act of strife (trouble, conflict, discord, contention, fighting, friction, dissension), and more!

This infamous 7:34 minutes will be a long lasting reminder that Story County deserves to be represented by a man like Rick Sanders.

The audio tape can be found on Sanders for Supervisor 2010.

Take a look at what Sanders has posted on his website:

In 2009 as we faced the worst economic conditions in a generation, the Supervisors raised our taxes $1.7 million

This year, the Supervisors once again increased taxes by over $800K!!!

Since 1986 – Property taxes in Story Co. have TRIPLED
(that is a 300% increase while the population of Story County has grown by only 16% – 74,000 to 86,000)

I suggest Story County residents go to Sanders’ website to read in detail what Mr. Sanders has to say about the current Story County Board of Supervisors and what he will offer as a member of this elected board.

And, for nonresidents of Story County: pay attention to what is going on with your County Board of Supervisors. Are they doing their elected jobs in highly functional, open, honest and ethical ways? Are they transparent and accountable to citizens?

Or, are they dysfunctional?

Story County and every county deserves to have a highly functional, responsible, trustworthy, and accountable Board of Supervisors.

7: 34 minutes.

“Story County needs a responsible change!”
