I am led to believe that the supervisors in Warren County are elected to serve the citizens in the county and control the county budget, not go out and buy custom vehicles and Volvo road graders.

There are roads that are in need of repaving — not patched over and over. For example, China Grove Road and Nailor Road in front of South Park Elementary School. I talked to a lady who said she has been trying for six years to get a culvert and hasn’t gotten one yet.

The new jail is no benefit to the taxpayers. I think before spending $37 million on a new jail, let the citizens of Warren County decide whether they would rather have the existing jail renovated, which would cost a lot less money, or build a $37 million jail.

I believe this should be placed on the ballot and the voters can accept or reject this program — and the existing supervisors.
