Should the commissioners sell the land around Carroll Manor?

Reader's comments:

No definitely not. You only come by so much land. You cannot get it back once it is sold. Let's sell the EDC position and quit funding that person.

There was a time before some of the land was taken from the Manor that income was available to the Manor from farming. What little land is left is a good buffer and could be raising vegetables and produce for food. Also, the odor is bad enough without the hog plant building closer. If it is sold, the money should be stipulated only for the Manor's necessary repairs.

* * * I am opposed to any further disposal (sale) of public owned county land. Once was sufficient.
