Dear Fred:
I received your letter on behalf of the County concerning the 4~ Local Option
Gas Tax, I want to commend and congratulate you for working with the Cities
to pass and develop the specific projects which will be accomplished due to
the cooperation of our local officials. It is my feeling that this particular
action will probably have a g~eat impact, as any recent or future decision to be
made by our elected officials in the County for the benefit of all citizens.
This is clearly an outstanding example of the County and Cities willingness
and ability to cooperate on well over 90% of all issues that are raised. It
is unfortunate that those issues which may be in disagreement are always
brought to the forefront.
I commend you for your efforts and also wish to express my appreciation to the
County Commission for their actions in making decisions which are going to have
major benefits to all. I look forward to working with you in the future.
