Reader laments waning faith in county government

Dear Editor,

Despite the command influence and efforts by Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt, the variance request to permit commercial development in an A-2 Agriculture District in northern Hamilton County was denied.

More than six dozen area residents opposed the project. Not a single resident in an almost two-mile radius supported the project.

Now we have found out that Commissioner Heirbrandt is considering using his position as a County Commissioner to rezone the property to allow commercial development as a way of overturning the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals and the wishes/desires of the area residents.

One does not have to wonder why faith in the county government is disappearing.
