Fire Rescue equipment and union contract
An ambulance that cost $250,000 in 2020 now tops $500,000, and fire engines have hit $1.1 million — with 2-3 year delivery waits. Fire Rescue says it's behind the growth curve and still needs roughly 100 more EMTs and paramedics.

Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day Proclamation
The county honored the assassinated conservative activist with a remembrance day despite hours of emotional testimony from residents who called his record racist, homophobic and demeaning. Supporters framed it as a free-speech stand; opponents say the county should honor locals instead and set clear criteria for proclamations.
