To the editor:

Governing and managing growth has been the single largest challenge faced by our cities and the county commission. Citizens support varied angles on how things should be done and elect people they think will represent their positions. Mayors and councils have wanted to control and often expand their own borders. County officials have their agendas and have often clashed with the cities. From the outside we see money, personalities and politics ruling the day. It is not easy for the best intentioned officials to balance the needs, wants and influences they face.
