The Board of Supervisors is still ignoring the financial facts behind this farm purchase. Send a quick email to your representative today to let them know we are paying attention to how they spend our money.

Stop wasting our tax money on this junk. The farm isnt worth half of what they are asking. Find something else to do with the budget.

Ridiculous to even consider this price. My property taxes are high enough as it is. Spend the money on something we actually need.

TERRIBLE IDEA. Keep your hands off our money and stop acting like this is a good deal for the county because it isnt.
