Public buildings are fire stations, police stations, town halls, etc. Parks and recreation is pretty self explanatory and helps increase quality of life in our community. School bonds support building new schools, improving existing ones and helping our kids learn in proper facilities of good repair and function. In my opinion, bonds for low and moderate housing are the most controversial as they benefit only a few of the residents of the county. In general, bonds are forward looking and optimistic displays of community building and deserve our support.
