A countywide infrastructure audit and analysis would not only improve planning and accountability, but also strengthen public trust. With so many pressing safety demands competing for resources, it is essential for us to demonstrate a clear, data-driven approach to how and where we invest taxpayer dollars.

Subscribe. Advertise. Tell your neighbors. The Herald has been here for over a century. Whether we’re here for the next one is, in no small part, up to you.
