I think it's imperative that we participate in the process. We have a vested interest in helping it be orderly. If we don't participate, we'll be left out as we have in the past.

Obviously, there are some very strong feelings here. The town board requested the state make a presentation to better see and hear the proposal. Please don't get argumentative.

It's a huge deal. I've been driving down to the other end of town for 29 years. It is important. It makes our community more complete.

There is a strong relationship between the money we need to meet our goals and the value of our water rights at $10,000 per acre foot.

The county had a five-year parking variance to construct the garage. The county made a commitment to abide by the standards. At what point does the county live up to its obligation? We hear all these rampant rumors. All we want is a commitment.

The county is pursuing its own reckless water policy and refuses to sit down with the town. They continue to isolate us. That smacks of some power control county issue.

We're suckers if we don't understand the value of this resource. We're targeting ourselves to have somebody take our water right out of here.

There is no solution to meet every need. What we all want is some kind of improvement to make driving better.
