I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of the fellow brothers and sisters who were
laid off on the 20th day of march 2005 for all their hard work and
dedication. You will be missed! I feel this was a very dark day in
Fairfield County. The only place I lay blame is with the Fairfield
County Commissioners. They have known about this financial problem
since 2001 and did nothing to prevent it. I remember when the
Commissioners ran for election in 2004 they said,"The county is
financially sound". Now, after they have been elected they have a
completely different story. They say the county is broke and in
February 2005 they put an increase for sales tax on the ballot.
The Commissioners are putting the blame on other offices but we know
who is at fault. If the Commissioners aren't willing to try and fix the
financial mess they have put this county in, they should stand back and
let people who care about their community see what they can do to fix
it.
