I personally want to thank County Commissioner Rosemary Franzen for speaking for us at the Aug. 23 commissioner meeting.
Having talked to the issue of election security and integrity for over a year, it was disheartening to hear Commissioner Steve Barrows tell us he wants the conversation to be over.
My Sunday School lesson for the children last week was on having ears to hear โ everyone has ears. There is a definite difference between listening and hearing. Thank you Commissioner Franzen for not just listening, but hearing and speaking to our concerns for security and integrity in our systems in the upcoming election.
