“For the county council, the main role is to have a budget that is stable and balanced. There have been some issues in the past that we need to make sure are addressed to keep a balanced budget.

“The council needs to make sure that we have the correct funding for the sheriff’s department to keep the county safe, then we need to make sure we have the mandatory areas funded correctly.   

“Once these areas are addressed, we can then look at funding other areas that the citizens of the county would like to see addressed, if we have the funds to do it correctly.”
