Cancel debt
I remember in the 1960s and 1970s guys who came out of the service using the GI bill for school and the college professors telling them that if they were in class for the money only needed to attend the first and last class. I also remember many of them taking classes that couldn’t remotely be used for employment. So student loan cancelation don’t set too well.
Concerned
I am very concerned with our current Christian County Board’s decision where they have appointed Vince Harris to be Director of yet another department within the county! It is completely irresponsible for the board to think or even expect one “man” to be able to administer business appropriately within 3 county departments even if it is for the sake of “saving money” for the county. Departments are determined by the credentials needed as defined in the IL Counties Code as well as education and I do not believe the appropriate due diligence has been completed by the Board to make this appointment. As an example, does Vince Harris have the designated certifications required to accept the appointment as stipulated by IL law? And if so, the board should alert the public that he has completed those certifications. I think it is high time the county board think more about protecting the taxpayers of Christian County and less about saving a few thousand dollars that may very well cause the taxpayers a larger loss in long run which they love to tout as savings under their political party!
