      Greenbrier Legislative Town Hall

      Greenbrier Legislative Town Hall Hosts Debate on Volunteer Fire Department Funding and Taxes
      Earlier this evening, the Greenbrier Legislative Town Hall was held at Grace Bible Church. The town hall featured a heated debate on funding for the county's volunteer fire departments, taxes, and Amendment 2.
      One of the key concerns raised by the first responders present was the need for adequate funding for the county's volunteer fire departments. Many of the volunteers argued that they were struggling to maintain their equipment and facilities due to limited funding, and that this was affecting their ability to provide adequate services to the community.
      Taxes were also a hot topic at the town hall, with many residents expressing concern over Amendment 2. Several speakers argued that the tax burden was becoming too high for many residents, particularly those on fixed incomes.
      Despite the contentious issues under discussion, the town hall was praised as a great evening with good public debate. All the county commissioners were present, along with some other elected officials, and residents appreciated the opportunity to voice their concerns and hear from their elected representatives.
      Overall, the Greenbrier Legislative Town Hall provided a valuable platform for residents to discuss important issues facing the county and to engage in constructive debate with their elected representatives.
