Agreed. The county manager runs the city. She has the most responsibly in this detrimental boondoggle. Or was it on purpose?]]></description>

The managers control the incorporated cities and counties. They are in the business to make money. Our county manager has made other mistakes at the public&#039;s expense. Not protecting our ballots is her fault for approving the Auditor&#039;s office expansion plans without the ballot box security cameras. Kimsey should retire for not knowing to put security cameras in the plans. If he doesn&#039;t know how to protect ballot boxes, he doesn&#039;t belong in that position.  Remember: Dinesh Souza&#039;s Documentary 2000 Mules’ provide evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election? Cameras should have been included in the remodel. ]]></description>

&lt;span&gt;Kimsy has been there too long. The office remodel expansion sounds like a huge amount of money, which should have included the cameras. It is time to replace Kimsy. He is not competent for the job. Securing our ballots doesn&#039;t seem to be his top priority.  &lt;/span&gt;]]></description>

Melissa --

The Charter form of government voters adopted nearly a decade ago, removed power and authority from the individual Councilors and the Council as a whole.  It was a poor choice, in my opinion, as it put more power into the hands of the County Manager.

We are now living part of that reality.

The main authority the Council has is to hire and fire the County Manager.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It has been my observation, over the past several years, that the elected legislative body (county council) generally opts for managerial kumbaya over leadership. As such, the council tends to view the executive branch as being “on the same team” and the constituents as “the opposition.” The council generally defaults to “approve, approve, approve,” growing managerial government, dismissing constituent concerns, and deferring to the “the experts.” Budgets grow. Staff grows. Taxes grow. Now there is a rift, because Auditor Kimsey pointed a finger at the council, and so the council is critical. But what exactly is the role of the council? What leadership and guidance do they provide? If they only approve and never deny, then the role seems performative.]]></description>
