There is a strong relationship between the money we need to meet our goals and the value of our water rights at $10,000 per acre foot.

I think it's imperative that we participate in the process. We have a vested interest in helping it be orderly. If we don't participate, we'll be left out as we have in the past.

The county had a five-year parking variance to construct the garage. The county made a commitment to abide by the standards. At what point does the county live up to its obligation? We hear all these rampant rumors. All we want is a commitment.

There is no solution to meet every need. What we all want is some kind of improvement to make driving better.

Obviously, there are some very strong feelings here. The town board requested the state make a presentation to better see and hear the proposal. Please don't get argumentative.

It's a huge deal. I've been driving down to the other end of town for 29 years. It is important. It makes our community more complete.
