What is County Government?
That is one of the questions I'm always asked followed by, "Why do we
need it and what does it do for me"?
County Government has been around since colonial days and provides
valuable services to its residents that are not always provided by local or state
government.
The day to day financial management and control of county assets and
liabilities are vested in the County Commissioners wh are given authority
over the general management and control of the Financial Affairs of the
County and County Property.
County Government Saves taxpayer dollars
Now, you may ask, "Isn't County Government redundant?".
The answer to that is, "No, not at all."
County Government actually saves the taxpayer dollars because small
government is efficient government.
The County provides many services to you at a small cost on your property
tax bill. You can imagine what the increase would be if your town had to
absorb the cost of services now provided by the county!
Our taxes are high enough, with ever increasing food and energy cost the
taxpayer doesn't need to have anymore added to their expenses and
eliminating County Government would do just that.
