No reason to change

ON NOV. 7, voters will decide the course of Lyon County government.
The chamber of commerce has proposed we add two county commissioners and a county administrator. I am not in favor of either proposal. Lyon County already has in place a county controller and county counselor. These people are doing the job of the proposed administrator. As far as the two additional commissioners are concerned, I believe this is just an attempt by the chamber to gain more control of county government. Proponents say that Lyon County’s financial problems are caused by inefficiency. I think our problems have more to do with overspending on projects like the courthouse than inefficiency. Lyon County government is being run efficiently and competently — I see no reason to change that.
