County government should be transparent and responsive to the people. The money spent doesn’t belong to the government, it belongs to you. The records relating to those expenses belong to you, too, and Saline County must quickly and completely respond to all Freedom of Information requests. Our courthouse should also be open to the taxpayers without unnecessary restrictions on entry.  All Quorum Court meetings should be broadcast on the county website and available on demand, including committee meetings.  As your Justice of the Peace, I will advocate for transparency and will always know for whom I work – the taxpayers of Saline County.
