All three Commissioners listed meetings they had attended.

Chairman Flower reported that the Board will put together a letter to go with the final draft of the strategic plan. He also discussed the $345 that was not paid on the CenturyLink bill for damages that occurred last fall. He will have Gary Hyde check again to make sure that there was no earlier invoice than the one the County paid. The $345 appeared to be a service charge from a collection agency and the Board felt it was not responsible for paying it. Continue reading Custer County Commish March 5 & 6 →

A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really!

BOCC: A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really!
Who/What Is Really the Nuisance Here?
The People or The Government?

 

An open letter;

To Commissioners Tom Flower, Bill Canda:
The county “nuisance” law recently proposed by the BOCC WILL start the slippery slope towards “Boulderizing” Custer County. This is dangerous ground.
I, and many, many others have seen it before.
It starts with litter, then it’s noise, then it’s noise from guns, then it’s Conex containers, then its dogs, then it’s your porch light, then it’s your cow manure, then it’s the paint on your house or barn, then it’s the old jeep in your yard, then its a broken down tractor, then its YOUR XXXX behavior annoying a California transplant. The bottom line is: THEN THEY COME FOR YOU. Continue reading A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really! →
