But we also respect the opinion of Supervisor Patricia Strachota, who has proposed that the board be pared to 20 members. And Strachota says a smaller board would streamline operations. She s right there, we think. From the behemoth federal government down to the smallest municipality, it s clear that more is not better. The more people involved in the decision-making process, the more cumbersome government becomes.
Bureaucracy breeds bureaucracy.
County officials should consider Strachota s proposal. And they should also respect Miller s voice of experience. And then they should recommend what is truly best not for themselves, but for the residents of Washington County.
