Lincoln, Darwin share birthday Most of those born on Feb. 12, 1809 have long been forgotten, but the lives of two men born on that day still influence society today. Abraham Lincoln’s resolve to reunite this nation under the conviction that “all men are created equal” started our country on a course of action that eventually would lead us closer to this reality. Charles Darwin’s work, On the Origin of Species, remains a topic of discussion and debate 150 years after its release.

Fortunately, the budget review done in the last month has laid the groundwork for a methodical analysis of all County expenditures. Additionally, performance audits as recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association will be considered to make the County more efficient and streamline our processes in order to save the taxpayers’ money, while preserving County services. Sussex County is a wonderful place to live, and our low taxes represent one of its greatest quality-of-life assets.

Take heart that a new Sussex County Council is hard at work with a dedicated and experienced administrative staff to bring our fiscal house in order and protect the wallets of the citizens of this great county.
