“Yeah, I think that... when I kind of look at the two different committees, the last committee was really to help educate and make sure that the union and others were all on the same sheet of music, understanding the budget, and this I really feel is a different focus. The focus really is taking a look at how do we make this successful, and I really believe that EXPERIENCE IN PASSING EVERY PUBLIC SAFETY LEVY THAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD. I DID SEE SOME CONCERNS IN THE LAST ONE. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME CHANGES THAT THE PUBLIC EXPECTS AND I THINK WE CAN MAKE THOSE CHANGES. It's important to work…”

I really want to make sure that there's accurate information put out there because I do wholeheartedly disagree with you on it. That county finance, the sheriff's office finance, spend hundreds of hours going through the cost model before it goes to the public safety levy. And that what you cannot do is...
