Of course it's an open forum where everyone is allowed to voice opinions --- I guess except me. So the title of the thread is "Local Governmet cutting services." I merely asked what services are being cut. Not really unreasonable, I wouldn't think.

Later, you propose the county "cut the very high salaries of the overpaid higher echelon? Seems like a rape job to me." Who are the overpaid higher echelon, elected officials, appointed officials, or both? What are their very high salaries? I think if you are yelling rape, you'd best determine who the rapee and the raper are. Makes it a bit easier in court.

And since we're all entitled to our own opinions, I will admit that over the many years of its existence, the POA has had a few successes. But then, even a blind squirrel finds some nuts. On balance, I don't think the POA is worth the gunpowder it would take to blow them to hades. I think they're more trouble than they're worth. But anyone is more than welcome to disagree and I would encourage those who do disagree to join the POA.
