Our libraries are an essential service to the people of Walker County, and the Rossville Library serves over 40,000 of our county residents. Our Sole Commissioner should step-up on the behalf of her constituents, and give a one-time gift of $12,000 from the county budget to supplement their city budget cuts to keep the library open regular hours. Commissioner Heiskell, it's unreasonable that you've asked taxpayers to donate to the library when your efforts and county assets are diverted into other non-essential projects that only serve the very few.
