Letter to the editor: Hear our voices

To the editor:

I am a Douglas County citizen. I am a Douglas County voter. I am proud of both.

I do not remember how I voted in 1994 regarding a tax increase. I sure do know that I did not expect the passing to mean our County Commission could do whatever it chose to do whenever it chose to do it.

The Douglas County Commission has chosen to use my money to expand the Douglas County jail. The Douglas County Commission has chosen to take out a loan to pay for it.

The Douglas County Commission has refused to allow me to cast a vote on the jail expansion.

The Douglas County Commission does not respect me as a Douglas County citizen.

I have a right to have my voice heard by casting my vote on the issue of a jail expansion.

Judy Pope,

Lawrence
