Money woes
In the very near future you will be hearing a whole lot about the budget woes of the county government. Does anybody have a constructive idea on how to better fund the county?
Hint: Raising taxes would only help so much and wouldn't kick in until 2008.

What we are seeing now is the effect of Cecil Mallory and his court of puppets (one of which is still performing). Instead of making fiscally responsable decisions, which sometimes would have ment increasing taxes, they would stick their heads up their OH, exuse me, in the sand and hope the problem would "go away". For almost 25 years we had basically the same group of 6-7 men who catered to a small select group of large land owners and disregarded the rest of the county. Its the price we pay for electing "good ole boys" instead of fiscally responsable business minded people.
Liquor taxes should have been implemented long ago. Why should other counties benefit from our vices?

Comment on the high number of peer deaths that the current high school students have had to deal with. How is it affecting the emotional health of our young people. Does the effects of this tragedy have any bearing on the drop out rate?::::::::::::::
What about the public's perspective of Todd County? Do we always have to have scandal and graft among our leaders? Where are we failing?
I'm going to bump this topic. Until young, open minded, educated citizens run for office in Todd County we are going to remain a poor County. We need to elect magistrates that bring ideas to the table, not just sit there collecting a paycheck to vote on problems that are brought before them.
I hear young adults in Todd County complaining all the time that we don't have anything and never will. Well, quit complaining and be a part of the solution.
