There a lot of other businesses that have pets. I enjoyed the story and would like to see more like this.

Blocker devices have been ruled illegal by the FCC according to internet reports referencing movie theater use, and Iowa schools.

IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. We are not living in the same times as 20 or 30 years ago. Crimes happen all around and within the schools, registered sex offenders live within miles, bad weather is frequent around here, often both parents work out of town, many children come from single parent homes, we dont have extended family and neighbor support like we use to.
Simple solution: allow them in the lockers turned off. Deal with violations according to a county wide REASONABLE policy.

This policy is extreme. Students who attend after school activities need access to their cell phones. Activites often run over the time scheduled or occasionally end early.
Although I do see the need for a policy to prevent interference in class time, I do not believe it is necessary to leave cell phones at home. Students who drive have the option of leaving them in their vehicles but the students who do not drive and are most likely to need access to a cell phone, do not have an option.
This type policy encourages our children to find ways not to get caught with the cell phone and inevitably sets some of them up for failure. We try to teach our children to follow the rules and live a moral life only to be undermined by the system. This policy is harsh and unnecessarily inconvenient.
A better policy would be to only allow them in lockers and turned off. Should that policy be violated deal with it on case by case basis rather than the one size fits all communistic approach we seem to accept more of on a daily basis.

Kitty you are more than likely 100% right about the commissioners inability to use the computer. I have personally heard more than one of them say they do not even read the paper, which is something I believe they would take the time to do if they truly cared about the people of this county they are representing.

It is great that Sheriff Davis has taken the time to read these posts and respond to clear up questions. This shows qualities of a strong leader. We want transparency in government.
The county commissioners should take a lesson from Sheriff Davis, listen to the people you represent and who pay your salary, answer their questions. This will help eliminate some speculation and hopefully set the record straight on some issues.

This would make an excellent story for you to do some good old fashioned research and report just how times the Commission has gone into executive session in the last year or two and on what grounds. Of course in doing so you may not be made to feel very welcome and find yourself looking for another job. I would like to see this ridiculous practice of calling an unnecessary executive session stopped. At the very least they should reserve these for the end of the meeting so as to not waste the working peoples time when they have a need to attend these meetings. Transparency in government is in the best interest of the people however it can be detrimental to the the politicians good standing with the public, hence they prefer the smoke and mirrors.

Until this Commission proves that they have taken a long hard look at their budget basics and have made cuts where needed they will have a hard time getting this tax to pass. Emergency Spending does not mean a thing other than they are keeping a closer watch on the department spending, tightening the purse strings. I want to hear from them that they have disected the budget and found that they can spend less on certain items. I want to know that they have made adjustments and sacrifices to their budget just like we all have to our household budgets. We dont just put our households on emergency spending, we have to take a long hard look at the budget and determine what changes we can make to stretch it. There is a lot of waste that goes on there, waste on goods and services purchased due to not comparing prices or because of political favors, and waste in many employees salaries who are using the taxpayers money for a cash cow while they goof off and conduct personal business on the taxpayers time. I also want to know they are working with a lean budget instead of a poorly overestimated one like they have in the past. They can easily say they have cut budgets when the budgets were excessively inflated in the first place. This results in nothing more than giving them an avenue to appear that they have done something when in reality they have done nothing more than change some numbers on paper. That is the kind of financial finagling that has put our country in the sad state it is in today.

Was this issue so complicated and confusing that no other business was conducted at the Commission meeting?
and they get paid to do what? argue among themselves, and table nearly every decision? why do we continue to accept this poor management of our tax dollars and continue to vote the same people or same type of people in year after year?
