Thank you for consistently posting this information, I appreciate that Sheriff Budrow is acting on behalf of his staff, I think he brings up very good questions. I would add to his list incremental funding for the absence of the Twisp police. My taxes have gone up 38% in two years, One would think that the Sheriff's office could be properly funded with the existing tax base. If the commissioners do not properly fund the Sheriff, then we all should remember that when they come up for re-election. I will send a message to the Commissioners this morning. That being said, every message I have sent over the years has not been responded to, Bruce Herron Wolf Creek

One of the best ways to get your message across is with the public comment period they provide. They will listen and thank you for your comments.
