• Brian Heady thanked the Board and complimented the dialogue between parties allowed in the prior item. He then referred to previous questions he had raised regarding the Space Needs Study and stated his opinion that hundreds of thousands of tax dollars are being spent for twice the space the County may need in the future. He then stated that, in his opinion, the sales tax question is very misleading because of the claim that tourists and visitors pay 40% of that sales tax when that tax only provides 10% of the whole tax burden. Local residents and taxpayers are then paying 90% of the cost of the projects being considered. He stated that there is a need to vote into office people who can operate effectively with fewer tax dollars. He questioned the justification for not having funds for recreation, senior services, text books in schools, and keeping public buildings in good repair while hoarding millions of dollars to build new offices.
