Good example in today's paper: Somehow the county cant find a way to work with the Humane Society to take in strays. I mean, how complicated could this be? Noncontroversial it would seem. But it is about money, and the county really has no plan for increasing its tax base or tax revenue, hence this seemingly straightforward governing task is a mess. Yet another example would be article in the paper regarding long lines at gas stations (offering low prices) blocking neighborhood access in Boiling Springs. Could this be poor, or non existing zoning at play??

I care but am confused over why so much turmoil at the county. The "professional" managers who county council hires are paid handsomely but for whatever reason they leave. Thanks for responding. I think the key her is "for some reason they leave" Just trying to read between the lines, maybe they (the managers) leave because the council is so dysfunctional and they become frustrated at their lack of ability for any real progress or reform. Hoping that the near future brings some stability and fiscal accountability so we as a community can move forward.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but.....What the He*& is going on with Spartanburg County Government???? Latest shoe to drop is the resignation of Marchioli after a "preliminary financial report" is presented to council. I keep waiting for the Herald Journal to do some, you know, actual investigative reporting on all the turmoil, but none seems to be forthcoming. Anyone have any insight? Im just a local citizen who moved back to Spartanburg 5 years ago and have been reading the boards for the last couple years to stay informed. I am a parent and professional and am so discouraged to see the constant amateur hour of our county government with a citizenry that doesnt seem to care??
