Cumberland County has a long history of spending economically and efficiently on core mandated public services and our current Board of Commissioners should take care to continue this tradition.
Cumberland County’s Commissioners have been lobbied by a vocal-few, including an ex-county commissioner, at numerous public meetings and in the press to direct millions of county tax dollars to what remains nebulous and undefined uses.
I am speaking of the public lobbying effort by some to direct the proceeds from the sale of Claremont Nursing Home to an as yet unidentified non-profit for unspecified uses or for set-asides for new county taxpayer funded programs.
Concerning to me is that I am not hearing the interests of the silent majority represented by all of Cumberland County’s Commissioners at public meetings on this issue. To-date, dialogue at public meetings has been almost exclusively on these lobbyists’ wishes for this public tax money. Cumberland County, by and large, has a long history of spending economically and efficiently on core mandated public services and thereby minimize the tax bite on Cumberland County residents’ pocketbook. Our current Board of Commissioners should take care to continue this tradition. Only by doing so can county taxpayers retain more of their money and be able to conduct their own philanthropy.
