I just love all the growth in joco. We need more houses, more people, more traffic, more water needs, more electricity needs. More fire departments, more police, more crowded schools, more crime. Thanks commissioners!!!!!
TRUTH
Don’t forget more taxes and rules
Absolutely spot on fact. JoCo Commissioners ruined this county.
And they fixing to build a baseball stadium in Smithfield going make the traffic worse

More is always better!
– Joco Gov’t
And higher property taxes
And the baseball stadium going up in Smithfield going bring more traffic to the area
It’s called growth and for the stadium jobs growth things for families
Jobs? The team is a college summer league. The season is done August and the “jobs” are party time minimum wage. I hope your not a commissioner
