Can I say … And the TRUTH will set you FREE!
We told everyone we could the facts, the proof and I suppose our TRUTH. Here we are the man who said he would pay back (AND NEVER DID) the education money on the 1st of Never…He s gone, Mr. Trapp!
Mr. Bell Gone to if ever there was an ego so bloated it refused to listen to the voice of the people “ALL” the people. I doubt that either one of them will ever show up again at a county meeting. Since in the future they will not be able to take out reimbursement for their trip to come to work!!! Fairfield county has to stop listening to the big mouths of Racial and Radical hate-mongering, and start listening to the real concerns of the people living without a real Fire Dept. and Life-Saving EMS and Police who can respond safely and patrol in more than 1 man cars at one time. CHANGES ARE COMING!

Thanks to everyone in Fairfield County for voting!!!!!!!!!!! You showed up to stop the madness!
District 1 and 3! Thank you for saving us all!
Mike Bell
If there are 2 county council members who needed to go most it certainly was Moses Bell and Mikal Trapp. Let this be a message to all our elected officials (and new and remaining council members):
Listen to your fellow citizen’s needs.
Exercise good, honest judgement to benefit all
Heed your bias. Forget about prejudice.
You will be held accountable!
Peter Gainey
Well said Peter 👏
What was the outcome of the two ballot amendments?
