AN OPEN LETTER TO <br />THE VOTERS OF BURNETT COUNTY <br />YOU HAVE A CHOICE <br />Grantsburg is desperate to retain the county seat. They are using <br />telephone harrassment, purposely causing confusion, spreading misin- <br />formation and making promises that cannot be kept. Remember, these <br />are the same people that sabotaged the election in 1976 which has <br />cost us over one million dollars in additional construction costs. <br />Part of the confusion, harrassment and scare tactics are aimed at <br />senior citizens. A "no" vote will not save you a dime. <br />With this issue before us for seven years, we have determined that the <br />taxpayers cannot afford to keep operating county government out of five <br />different locations and with a condemned jail and a courthouse in the <br />process of being condemned. We represent 2/3 of the county population. <br />We represent 75% of every tax dollar going to construction. In the best <br />interests of Burnett County, we have committed ourselves to a new <br />Government Center. <br />The jail will be closed in November unless we have an architect and de- <br />velop a construction schedule. On November 3, the Property Committee <br />meets to select an architect. On November 9, the County Board will meet <br />to approve a bond issue for 3.6 million dollars. Bonds will be sold in <br />February and construction bids will call for the start of construction <br />in the spring while interest rates and construction costs are down. <br />You decide on November 2 where the Government Center will be located. <br />A "No" vote means a new Government Center will be built in <br />Grantsburg at a site to be purchased. <br />A "YES" vote means a Government Center will be built at the county <br />owned airport in Meenon Township in the center of the county. <br />THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN COST.
