Mr. Richter states, "As for cuts, maybe cutting duplicate services is where we start, having multiple agencies with the exact same service seems redundant and a waste of taxpayer money."

I'm sorry, where do we have multiple agencies with the same exact service in county government?

Again, some of these candidates seem very Hell-bent on issues that they personally have experienced, and may be blind to the issues that truly affect residents. Mr. Richter clearly has a burr up his ___ about TEAS. I'm not saying he's right or wrong, but having a wide range of knowledge of county government and potential issues is way more beneficial.

Candidates running on a particularized grievance are almost never the best choice.

Agree, but in fairness, when Dave asks a candidate to name a top priority, it increases the focus on one topic more than may be the case. However, your answer better not be IT or, Baphomet help us, AI as a cost-saving measure. Forsooth!
