Message from a community leader

Dear Community Connections,

I wanted to thank Sarasota County Government for conducting it's first interactive town hall meeting concerning the budget. Tonight's "live" meeting is a great start to something that can benefit all of us. As you know, it's important for the citizens to be actively involved in the process. Without open dialogue or transparency we will be unable to move forward. Our community is dependent upon its leadership to do the right thing. Commissioner Thaxton's comment about the "time being right for all parties to be engaged" on subjects of mutual public interest was spot on. Please know, our organization will remain pro-active on the challenging issues that face us. I look forward to future town hall meetings. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

John Krotec
