People have asked me.."Why do a committee for the Northwest portion of your district---why is this necessary?"
LOOK AT THE MAP BELOW
The map below, showing the explosive growth this area has experienced from 2010 to present is a huge part of the reason. We are already behind the curve and playing catch up. I can't wait to work with this new committee, established by a 4-1 vote of the Board of County Commissioners, to find creative ideas to adapt to this growth for the betterment of every citizen that not only lives here --but also the ones that travel in this area on a regular basis.....

Steven Barry should be just as concerned as Jeff Bergosh is.
