Commissioners' Comment, August 2008 #1

Washington County Commissioner Kristin Aleshire is young, outspoken and dedicated to local government. Aleshire talks about getting information about government to the people, and combatting misinformation and disinformation about the Board and its intentions.
Aleshire discusses the Funkstown Bridge repair project, the PATH project--a massive power grid upgrade that will impact ciounties in West Virginia and Maryland, and the County's role in current zoning, annexation and development. Aleshire says that having served as Town Planner for both Middletown and Myersville in Frederick County, then 6 years as a Hagerstown City Councilman and now as both Town Manager for Myersville and a County Commissioner, provides a different perspective to the job of governing Washington County.
