Stingy

I think it is great that the county has been thrifty (stingy) over the last several years and built up a nice reserve fund. I commend the commissioners for doing this, but... a reserve fund is in place for when you have an emergency and sometimes you have to tap into it to pay for things such as, I don’t know, maybe public safety which is one of the responsibilities.

I am tired of hearing about how broke the county is when it is their fault (the commissioners). They drug their feet on the Hawkins project and that should be bringing in revenue, and now it is on the verge of falling apart...
