Something to make clear about the Voice in the Choice meeting held Saturday...

Everyone was welcome to this meeting to share their opinion - regardless of which position they held on whether the Sheriff should stay or go.  One of the main weaknesses in the Willdan report was the lack of a community meeting on the topic.  The meeting was one way to address this oversight, which many think was purposefully avoided.

One person, Laurel Decker - who is a member of the Finance Advisory Board (FAB) - attended and was part of the group that was addressing the weaknesses of the report.  She stood up after that group's presentation and insisted that her comment wasn't included.  The moderators assured her that it would be included in the report that is given to the City Commission.  After the meeting, she came up front and wrote the following on the group's sheet of paper where their comments were listed.

So, beyond specifically including her comment in the report, I wanted to be sure to point out what her comment was here.
