Even if I agreed with you that the facility is needed—which I do not—this is the absolute wrong way to fund it. Let me ask you this: Why should we let those who have allowed the current facilities to fall into such disrepair have a $2.8 million dollar facility? And, as for your comments about me forgetting about Bill Patch having a lot to do with the Welch Civic Center, I certainly have not. And that's my point. People with the means to make things happen should pitch in and make this community center happen if it is so needed. Bill Patch didn't run to the county to have a special election. If this thing passes, we're on the hook. There's no undoing it down the road. This is a disastrous method of funding a facility that could potentially need refurbished before it's ever paid off.

Or the Livestock building. There is definitely a need for a new community center. The next Craig County Fair, the livestock will be shown in one of the outside barns and the old showbarn is going to be used for all the exhibits that were in the Faye Apperson building previously. Just because you think Welch citizens wont use the building is not a reason to not vote for this building. All of Craig County will benefit from it in some way. As of the Welch Civic Center. Yes the Lions Club was able to get a building build but you forget that Bill Patch had a lot to do with it. Craig County is in dier need of a facility to use for the Craig County Fair among other events. And it will be used for many purposes for everyone in this county. Tyson,
