Even at 50 cents I have no interest in funding that paper. If they want to convince me of something then they can get their message to me, I'm not going to pay for the privilege.

In truth all commissioners were asked to review the letter at the 1/26 meeting per the meeting transcripts. Chairman Breeden asked at that meeting, "Everyone looked at it? Any questions? No objections or comments were made". Again, Public record .

"On the day of this week's vote, Miller supported a Facebook post that cast Arnold as the driver of the tax cap hike yet it was Miller who made the motion at the 2/9 meeting to push it forward to vote. Search seconded." Public record

"After the public comment on Tuesday, Miller attempt to keep the tax hike alive stating they could look at it again in June or July. Miller also went on Facebook to shrug off the facts from Public records saying "if you read in the Daily Sun it's probably wrong.""

So a politician claims the public record is wrong? Something is rotten in Denmark.
It appears neither side is clean. It is unfortunate that Miller doesn't remember what seems to have been presented in two prior meetings. It is equally unfortunate that the paper characterizes the June or July meeting as an "attempt to keep the tax hike alive."

It would be so much better if both sides looked out for their constituents or customers rather than bickering with each other.
