Communication
To The Editor:
Next Friday, June 12. 1981, the
Polk County Commissioners will
hold a public hearing on the
budget presented by the county
manger last week.
I urge you to attend this
meeting and speak up to let the
commissioners know how you
feel about the proposed budget
and tax levy.
Do you want all services
continued or do you think some
services should be eliminated or
cut down? Do you think school
budgets should be increased for
the coming year?
This Board of Commissioners
wants to do what the majority of
the people want so we need your
input. Your opinion is important.
Please come to the courtroom at
12 noon.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ralph H. Arledge, Chairman
Polk County Board
