I don't see this being a once a year thing. I see it being an ongoing thing.

Please do not let this be the end, but the beginning of many joint meetings to better the working relationships between communities.

It is our hope we can hold these planning meetings on an annual basis and have as great a success as Grove City has had.

What we do here also affects the county -- and vice versa.

The growth issue has got to be probably our biggest concern.

When you're in Washington and voting, you don't have the one-on-one interaction with your constituents that you do when you are in the district working out of the district office. You can do phone calls and letters and things like that (in Washington), but you can do one-on-one things in the district.
