County Commission, no one would bite. "We
have to look for a holistic way to remediate
these concerns," Caragiulo said.
Caragiulo praised the current board for its
economic development policies, but the most
fleshed-out answer to the question came from
write-in candidate McAllister, who called for
increased attention to agriculture and the local
food shed, in addition to policies that support
the nonprofit and for-profit arts community.
"We need to stop grabbing onto whatever the
trend of the month is," Snyder said, promising
to support manufacturing and light-indus-
trial operations.
Summing up her pitch, Coe, who has been
active in the local Libertarian Party, said
county government is not now reflecting the
values of the community. She added that "a
good infusion of ethics" is needed. McAllister,
