LABOR: BLOOD AND SWEAT THAT BUILT AMERICA
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” (Colossians 3: 23)
The information we find in the Bible is so varied we find it difficult to prioritize our favorite types. One concerns the profession of Jesus. He first and foremost was our Savior but He was, in His human, earthly work, a carpenter. To know that Jesus was a tradesman gives many of us great pleasure and a special and somewhat different connection to Him.
The labor movement in America has a very colorful and sometimes violent history. Arguments involving union men and non-union are credible in both directions and many can see both points.
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States, in the period from 1760 to about 1840. Continuity of industrial tools, materials and processes initiated this transitioning from custom manufacturing (individual, one-at-a-time production) to mass production.
A character in American history we mostly remember for inventing the cotton gin was Eli Whitney. Born in 1765 and died in 1825, his greater accomplishment, however, was to develop “the system of interchangeable parts.” This led to the development of the assembly line type of production and the industrialized world was changed forever.
In the early days, conditions in the factories were dangerous and even deadly. Child labor was utilized, pay was minimal and working conditions had no governance.
For those in the industrial sector, organized labor unions fought for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. The labor movement led efforts to stop child labor, give health benefits and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired. For non-union people this may seem like overkill, but for those developing work related diseases or the injured, it was very reasonable.
A combination of factors has contributed to the success of American manufacturing and the accomplishment of “the American dream” for so many. The mass production of consumer products, capitalism, unlimited opportunities, and education are a beginning of those factors.
In the early years of America, people came to America to work and improve themselves and the nation. Work was a coveted endeavor and cherished by those immigrants. People came to America from many countries, possessing the varied skills necessary to build a great nation.
We had the privilege of visiting Greenock, Scotland four years ago. Margie’s great-great-grandparents sailed from there in 1836 to the New World to start a new life. They came to work and to acquire the American Dream. They were also escaping the political and religious tyranny of the time.
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
The American work ethic, in the beginning of the industrial age, apparently came in line with the teachings of God because God, without a doubt, blessed America. People worked hard and “with all their might” to build America.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” (Colossians 3: 23)
This verse is almost a repeat of Ecclesiastes 9: 10. God is obviously teaching us to work and give it our best effort.
We work as if we were working for God, because we are.
“Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.” (Deuteronomy 10:14)
Working for and toward the glory of God, can we then focus on His priorities and not our own. This is not to say God doesn’t want the best and most for us.
Our work, both our earthly vocations and our divine callings, must command our attention and we must regard the importance of both. Jesus said, in no uncertain terms, in His last words before His ascension:
“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28: 18-20)
To work for Him is an honor and a privilege.
A Martin Luther King quote commanding attention is, “All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
When I was young, Labor Day marked the beginning of a school year, a hunting season and the end of summer. I regret that more emphasis wasn’t placed on the importance and great sacrificial contributions the laboring people meant to our great country.
Schools would do a great service to students if they would teach the history of the American labor movement. As an industrial arts teacher I emphasized the importance of one’s vocational choice and the value of the trades.
We have failed as a people to recognize and appreciate the tradesmen and laborers that built America and keep America a great nation. We have also failed to pass along positive work ethics and an appreciation for the system that allows us to work and acquire the American dream.
Knowing Jesus the Carpenter and Jesus the Savior of all mankind gives a feeling of clarity of Him as a man and God in the flesh (John 1: 14).
Believing in Him gives us eternal salvation as no other can (Acts 4: 12). Christ Jesus was crucified for the remission of the sin of the world and resurrected. Because of the sacrificial death and shedding of His blood, we see Him as one who cares about us.
Let us never forget the work American labor has done and continues to do in the building and sustaining of America. Tradesmen, laboring men and women; we salute you.

Van Yandell - September 11th, 2001: FORGET AND PAY THE PRICE
Deuteronomy 4:9 “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons.”
Being forgetful is certainly not a virtue. Forgetting can cost us money, friendships, trust, and for sure, the keeping of important commitments or appointments.
Perhaps we remember those things that are important to us and forget the others. For Americans to forget what happened September 11th, 2001, creates an outcome for us that few, if anyone, will be happy with.
We don’t like to think about the fact that we have enemies, but we do! When our president ordered the invasion of Kuwait and the expelling of Saddam Hussain’s occupation army in that country, a war began that will last for many years and may not end until Jesus returns.
Middle Easterners saw the invasion as an attack on their holy lands and their way of life. Regardless of who is to blame, this battle that began 4000 years ago is once again happening (Genesis 17).
During the few months after the terrorist attack, America was united as not so since Pearl Harbor. Songs and books were written, movies made and the entire death encapsulated event became a rallying cry for freedom and democracy. Americans were united as never before.
The feeling was reminiscent of the war machine that was activated at the beginning of World War II. American pride was at a high point in history.
In the meantime, over the last twenty-two years, the social and moral structure of America has done a complete about face. It quickly became evident there was a faction in the country bent on destruction rather than being united against the enemies of America. War has been declared on the freedom that once united us.
It also became apparent many of those enemies were within rather than without. This division became more and more polarized as the years passed. The differences were more than simple political ideologies but the separation between the philosophies quickly reached the point of extreme.
Suddenly it became apparent America had forgotten the significance of being united. The enemies of America sought to divide and conquer. It became “slap-in-the-face” obvious the enemies were succeeding and many were not even aware of what was happening. The result became a weakening of America. Because of a declining intellect of the population, many became adamant and obstinate of their political, religious and cultural views. Proverbs 12: 15 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes.”
Views of what America should be became so excessive that many saw violence as an alternative. Threats against opposing political opinions became commonplace and the road to destruction was paved and the yellow lines were all erased.
Terrorists attacks in America and the world have become so common and numerous, many do not even lift their heads when another one emerges. When we begin to take such occurrences as normal we begin to self-destruct.
The enemy’s methodology is to divide us, make us apathetic and complacent; make us forget and make us accept certain actions as normal. Survival may be possible under these attitudes but wait until the terrorists become nuclear capable.
There are now believed to be over 15,000 nuclear warheads in existence. Eleven countries possess those bombs and the terrorists are in a constant effort to secure one or more of those. If entire cities and their populations are vaporized, we’ll “sing a different tune.”
The acceptance of “normal,” has become a rallying cry of the enemies of America. Those practices as described as an abomination in the scriptures are not normal and must be categorized as such.
While we forget, rationalize and underestimate, the enemy is plotting and planning the next attack. If we forget and let down our guard, we pay the price. The thinking “this will all work out” is simple minded and dangerous.
Yes, we are being deceived and lulled into a state of complacency. Incremental conditioning works and so does brain-washing and actions designed to convince people of an opposing point of view.
Matthew 24: 4 “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many.” This passage of scripture which is a direct quote of Jesus, is not a simple prophesy pertaining to only religion. Being deceived can happen politically, economically and in the setting of our priorities and values.
If we forget the basic concepts of human interaction, societal standards and ethical boundaries, we can easily be misled.
The change in attitudes and values since the 9-11 terrorist attack of twenty-two years ago leaves us vulnerable. To be an American and stand for freedom as designed by our nation’s founders is imperative for survival.
When the church forgets Jesus as the focal point of the church, the deceivers will have won. We must not forget the 9-11 terrorist attacks and we must not forget that the church and our faith is all about Jesus. When we forget, we become susceptible to the terrorist and wiles of Satan, the greatest deceiver.
“The Church” consists of all the true believer-followers of Christ Jesus and divisions within that body are not helping this already critical scenario. Denominationalism addresses topics that have NOT the slightest effects on one’s eternal destination.
Eternal salvation is by a faith based belief in Christ Jesus, crucified for the remission of sin and resurrected. Opinions on minor matters beyond that scriptural truth are erroneous at best.
I well remember driving into New York City at 2 a.m., a few nights after the twin towers came down. Seeing the Statue of Liberty in the light from the city and the smoke billowing off the rubble, I thought, “Our world is changed forever.” But I had not a clue the change in the people and the political agendas that would surface over the following years.
We were working in a feeding kitchen with a disaster relief unit. Over the next few weeks the surreal atmosphere in New York seemed to subside slightly. Unfortunately, over the next few years, so did the memories of the disaster.
An even greater disaster is the falling away from the church and our precious Jesus. If Christians do not tell the world about Him, no one will. The teachings of Christianity set the standards of human behavior and the world has obviously forgotten.
Hebrews 3: 12 “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.” The falling away from God may be ongoing in any given church and the members are not aware.
1 Timothy 4: 1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.”
It must be a priority with every Christian to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with this godless world in which we live. If we forget 9-11, the American tragedy has just begun. If we forget Jesus, an eternal tragedy is certain.
Matthew 28: 18 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” The Bible does not say, two percent of you; or fifty percent. It speaks to all Christians!

You wouldn’t be far off if you guessed the most well-rested and well vacationed President in the history of the Republic. He doesn’t just rest on vacation; he grabs a quick snooze at Global leader meetings too. Even with all that rest he screws up royally, like telling the Maui residents who suffered one of the worst wind fires in more than a century, that he feels their pain, because he once had a Kitchen fire.

Ever since the 2016 Election we have heard from Robert Epstein how Google has manipulated its Web search algorithms to drive votes to liberal Democrats. While in 2016 Google putting their thumb on the scale was not enough to help the Wicked Witch beat Donald Trump, since then Google has been refining its techniques and is now putting their thumb on the scale harder than ever. In 2018, 2020 and 2020, they switched more and more votes to the left. I heard Dr. Epstein on Bannon’s Warroom today and he talked about the huge number of votes that are being manipulated and how it’s being done. Epstein is a liberal, but he believes in honest campaigning.
One thing he warned about is that Big Tech is highlighting ordinary election fraud (ballot harvesting, Vote by mail and so no, but Epstein says that is a distraction from the real manipulation being done by Google as Google tries to trick us into leaving them alone.
His Website is https://mygoogleresearch.com/
and it explains the research and the findings. They have done genuine statistical research and analysis to show how the Google techniques work.
One point he makes is that because of the Google actions only 4 of the 13 big swing states went for Trump in 2020, but if those techniques had not been used, Epstein’s research shows Trump would have prevailed in 11 mod the 13 Swing States.
We need to know what is being done to us to fight back against it. Epstein is doubtful that Republicans will take the necessary action but by informing us he can increase the chance that we can do something about this. Don’t give up. Help us be more effective.
I urge you to go to the West, review it and share it with your friends so we can make inroads against this manipulation.
He is also building another Website: America’s Digital Shield (still under construction) to try and combat the Tech oligarchs.

Would Trump Ever Pick Ramaswamy as a VP Running Mate? NO! Here’s Why …
By Jim Waurishuk, Colonel, USAF (Ret.)
There has been some concern and debate regarding the recent article published in the publication "Just the News" suggesting that "President Trump was open VP Vivek as a potential VP selection. It appears that this may have been taken out of context and over zealously exaggerated by the article as written.
Let me offer some insight on what was actually said, by President Trump about Vivek Ramaswamy.
I offer this analysis because it is important to understand the context and actual, and specific words used both by President Trump and the article's writer. In the high-speed information age, we are in, where we are bombarded with stories and narratives, it's critical to be aware of what and how statements are both being made and the context in which they are being presented. Much is "Editorialized" for a reason.
Both the political Left and Right use various methods to disseminate fact and truth or false and untruthful narratives to convey a message. We are in an era of what has been deemed and called, "Fifth Generation Warfare" or 5GW for short, where information and messaging are weapons being used against people's minds. I teach this in my 5GW program, on how to analyze and discern truth, fiction and lies and bullshit.
Citizens and voters need to be able to understand and grasp the meaning and context of what and how is being said. Be it Misinformation, Disinformation, Psychological Operations (PSYOP), Propaganda, Deception, a Distraction or a Misdirection Play.
That being said, regarding the Just the News article, taken on face value of what President Trump said, here's my analysis, according to what was stated and described.
First, it’s really a 'strained' stretch. Understand that President Trump was both careful and precise in his choice of words in his description of Vivek Ramaswamy, but in answering the question, he never said "VP," those words did not cross his lips. That narrative was implied by the reporter and article's editors to coach the reader into thinking Trump would/ will consider Ramaswamy as a VP pick.
Trump is always calculating and very shrewd when he defines and compliments people. Much is based on timing and current relationships with people, either pro or con. Trump does so to ensure he is on level playing field with every political leader, politician, and heads of state (at least to ensure they believe that) -- we've seen this with both political opponents and adversaries, be it, McConnel, McCarthy and many Democrats, as well as Xi Jinping, Kim Jung Un, or Putin.
In this case, Trump didn't say any negative things about Ramaswamy like he does about DeSantis "DeSellout" and Chris Christie (using fat shaming). Why, because for one, they crossed the line politically with Trump, they chose adversarial relationship as well as betraying Trump. Trump knows when to be critical and when it's time to slam his opponents. Remember too, the single biggest principle with Trump is about "loyalty" which is a big part of his character. Being critical is one thing, but "betrayal and disloyalty" is a bridge too far with Donald Trump.
Also realize and remember, Trump called DeSantis, "Desanctimonious and Meatball" long before anyone understood what was actually going on. Trump knew long before that DeSantis was being disingenuous. Particularly after Trump saved his political neck in 2018. DeSantis ignored the favor and turned-on Trump around May 2022. I know this all too well, I recommended to the White House in June 2018, to have Trump formally Endorse Ron DeSantis (in Tampa) for Governor of FL, and then worked the planning and hosting of the event. I also served as the emcee.
Another thing to realize and understand about President Trump is that he always is three-five moves ahead -- he plays 5-level chess, well. And he knows not to reveal his hand, playing coy, aloof, and or appearing unaware. He's totally aware. It’s obvious Trump was being coy with Vivek, he doesn't need to slam him, he of course knows Vivek's not even in contention, nor is he a threat. At the same time, Trump saying complimentary pleasantries about Vivek, both serves as both a necessary deception and a distraction and is also a defensive move by Trump. It essentially forces Vivek to not be critical or say negative things of Trump. It forces pundits to write confusing articles, perhaps such as the Just the News, piece we're referring to. Understand, Trump gets it, he knows how to manipulate and take the media down rabbit holes, or over analyze something he "didn't say."
Secondly, President Trump said good things, noting that Vivek would be good, at something, without saying what. That's a strategy Trump uses, and so again, he will not criticize Vivek at this point. Plus, right now Trump sees Vivek as an obstacle against DeSantis. With DeSantis dropping and by giving favorable commentary to Vivek he forces the battle between DeSantis and Ramaswamy. It also walls off the other GOP candidates.
Third, and most importantly, Donald Trump's not stupid, and as I said, he is shrewd. Look ... he knows everything about Vivek. He may not reveal it, there's no reason for him to do so now. Let the media, political pundits and talking heads, and you voters vet Vivek. I can guarantee, Trump, certainly knows that Vivek is a Soros/WEF plant. Let that gradually be exposed over the coming months. Right now, as noted, in Trump's way of thinking, Vivek serves a purpose in the political challenge, early in the GOP Primary race phase.
So, let's look at Vivek. First, Vivek's sucking-up to Trump is part of his effort to distract from what we already know about him. This is critical, the lid is being lifted on him. He needs to dispel and distract the public and the media, and put distance between himself and the negative exposure to him being a Globalist, his ties to Big Pharma, Soros, and WEF, and his positions; pro-Climate Change, pro-choice/abortion, gun control, etc. At the same time, his efforts are to try and or certainly hope he can get something from Trump in exchange for being faux suck-up in order to get inside a Trump administration.
My take, based on my analysis, that if he can get a tier-1 job, he then, once on the inside, he would essentially be another Barr, Pence, McConnell, Milley, and another one of the many who disingenuously served and worked against Trump on the inside in his first term. Especially Pence and AG Barr.
Realize, most of big gun, big name Republicans that are in a position to get a key position in a Trump administration, don't really support Trump, but they are in fact, actually trying for positions in a next Trump White House. Again, for obvious reasons -- to get in, in order to sabotage Trump. Such as Nikki Haley.
So, essentially, not a single current Republican candidate running, is actually running for POTUS. They're running for VP, or a tier-1 cabinet post. They're solely trying to get a Trump nomination in order to get inside and sabotage Trump.
President Trump's loyalists are the grassroots supporters, "us," they are not in the ranking GOP circles, particularly those in positions to serve as senior cabinet officials. I'm not talking about those close to Trump in Congress, i.e., Gaetz, MTG, Donalds, Rosendale, etc. They won't serve in a Trump White House -- they are up for reelection in 2024, and Trump needs them in Congress. The few loyalists in positions, with experience, are those like Mike Flynn, attorneys Jeff Clark and Mike Davis, etc.
The take away, is that Donald Trump is master of the media. He knows the game, the nuances, the strategy and tactics and he knows what we in the military understand; OPSEC - operational security. Never let the enemy, your adversaries, opposition and in many cases your friends and supporters kow what your plans are, and strategy is. Donald Trump knows what to say when and he knows when to hold them and when to show them. This is how he rolls. Everyone needs to be cognizant, be aware, and be educated on what people say, how they say it, what you hear, and what you read. This is the high-speed digital informational age and the information war environment we are in. Good luck.

To those who enjoy my commentaries, I take this moment to share with you another Gene Robinson commentary... From my own experience, RINOs have always been a problem for freedom lovers and those who want to see our republic thrive. With folk like that, who needs enemies? It is my belief that we must continue to purge RINOs from our efforts, since their views are often athwart to the principles this republic was founded on. We want to be all inclusive, yes, but the line has to be drawn when those who claim they stand with us, and believe in what we believe in, we find out later are doing the opposite. This is about good vs. evil, and if we are honest with ourselves, we will have to admit that a certain political party, and a band of RINOs sympathetic towards the cause of the left, are behind the decline of America... The truth doesn't get any clearer, or direct, than this. Anyway, please take the time to review our fellow patriot's thoughts below. And remember to stay positive and stay the course... With the Living and Almighty God, all things are possible... CS Bennett
PEOPLE:
Throughout the annals of history in this world, for those who Believe, one individual has worn the label of committing the Ultimate Betrayal. For well over 2,000 years, Judas has borne that title in the Christian world for selling out, under the cover of darkness, the One Person who came to earth to Save Mankind... FOR A MERE 30 PIECES OF SILVER!
Now, in today's era, a person has come forward, through the powerful TV lens of modern technology to become a "close second", so... JUDAS ESCARIOT MEET MICHAEL STEELE.
Last week on Thursday, hundreds of blacks in Atlanta lined the streets of the route that former president Donald Trump's motorcade took after he surrendered at the Fulton County, Georgia jail to begin the process of being charged in Four Indictments, and... THE MULTITUDE OF THOSE BLACK PEOPLE LINING THE STREETS SHOUTED... "FREE TRUMP"!
While, several hours after that spectacle played out in Atlanta, another very prominent black person went on national TV as part of a panel on left wing MSNBC, and the former top Republican in this country... WENT COMPLETELY WOKE IN HIS HATRED FOR EX-PRESIDENT TRUMP.
As I said... JUDAS ESCARIOT MEET MICHAEL STEELE, WHO IN 2007 BECAME THE FIRST BLACK CITIZEN TO BE ELECTED AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF AMERICA'S REPUBLICAN PARTY!
Steele as part of Joe Scarborough's television segment "Morning Joe", gleefully talked about the Trump Indictments, and, although he is still a Republican, added his two cents worth of criticism of Donald Trump, an ex-president of the United States who has been accused of various political crimes, but who has yet to be Convicted of Any Crime since this entire process started.
Joining in with the chorus of Trump Haters on the studio panel, Michael Steele started his diatribe by saying, "Joe, I think we are at the point where we thought we would be once this process started." Then, the former GOP Chair looked directly into the camera, laughed out loud, smiled broadly and added, "Once you factor in the four separate Indictments, from my view after watching this, you see the motorcade, all the security, and the long line of cars. And, yet we still elevate Trump on the same level as Barack Obama, George Bush, or any other former president."
Then Steele said sarcastically of Donald Trump, "He is not just a former president, he lost those privileges when this whole thing started to unravel... HE IS AN INDICTED INDIVIDUAL!"
As an individual who holds a law degree, certainly Michael Steele should know more than most, that in the American system of jurisprudence... ANY CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY WHO HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIME IS CONSIDERED... INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, AND TRUMP HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN GUILTY.
Michael Steele grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., and graduated high school from the distinguished Archbishop Carroll Academy, where he was a member of the National Honor Society, and the president of the school's Student Council. He then went on to get a Bachelor's degree from the prestigious Johns Hopkins School, before he received a Jurist Doctor degree from Georgetown University. After a distinguished professional career, he became the Lieutenant governor of Maryland, and following that he was chosen the Republican Party Chairman.
Those who knew and traveled with him in states all over this country when he was the Party Chair, said that... MICHAEL STEELE WAS TREATED LIKE A ROCK STAR AT VARIOUS APPEARANCES!
However, somewhere along the way, after losing a second term when he ran again for the RNC top post, Steele changed his political ideology, though he remained a Republican, when he began to say that the Republican Party has become controlled by a MAGA narrative. Steele said in the recent past, "Pathetically, the Party is a shell of what it once was, and has become far right wing, white nationalist, and dangerous." After I had an immense respect at one time for Michael Steele, somewhere along the way after listening to him berate the Republican Party, I lost much of the respect that I had for the man.
Then, on MSNBC after Donald Trump's surrender last week, Steele went completely WOKE, causing me to lose even more respect for him, when he said, "Jim Jordan and others of that ilk are trying to slow the process, because in their warped minds, Donald Trump will win next year come hell or high water, as the fix is in... in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. They have telegraphed that they have already set it up."
Then to prove to a national television audience of leftist followers that he was now one of them, Steele added derisively, "Donald Trump is going to get his Bling out of all of this in Fundraising Cash... BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT!" He then finished by saying that, "The American people will have to decide if they want to put this man back in the White House."
Judas Escariot sold his soul for only 30 pieces of silver, while Michael Steele has sold out for a very large paycheck from MSNBC, to try and stay relevant in this country's political discourse.
And as such, Michael Steele, the former Republican National Chairman, has completely become... THE ULTIMATE REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY!

Dear Editor,
According to the Chronicle articles of August 25 & 27th, 2023, the Citrus County Library Board and four of our County Commissioners support cutting ties with the American Library Association - that has been promoting LGBTQ children's books and drag queen storytelling. I commend these decisions, as children really need to be taught and not confused - so that they can learn the basics of reading, writing, and math!
On September 7th at 5:00 PM
The county commissioners will have a meeting . . .
https://www.citrusbocc.com/calendar_app/calendar_event_detail.html
. . . on whether or not to pay for membership to the afore mentioned ALA. Hopefully the commissioners will stand firm on their convictions and vote No! There will be public input where the public can voice their opinions on that and any other proposed budget items.
Another item to consider at the meeting is the proposed property tax increase.
There are many in this county who cannot afford more taxes- after the stormwater increase - one man sounded as if he would lose his house because of that one.
It is not a question of affordability or not, however - it is: is raising the taxes right or wrong?
According to the internet the revenue this year is approx 13 million & 164 thousand dollars more than last year yet the proposed millage is 8.24 from 7.76!
Hope that the commissioners reconsider that tax hike.
Some may wish to make some comments on this also- so that people will be able to keep their homes and businesses instead of them being sold for Tax Deeds!!
