PULASKI NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT COOPERATION

We are told by everyone in Pulaski County that cooperation of county governments is what is most needed if we are ever to move forward. So why, when Dublin asked the Pulaski County government to select three of its governing body to talk with three of Dublin's about a boundary change much needed by the town, did the county hire one of the state's most expensive lawyers to advise them without first meeting with the town?

If that is cooperation than we do not need cooperation. Seems the county and Dublin will be spending a lot of the taxpayers' money just because the county is not willing to cooperate. The School Board and the city of Radford are the only ones it seems willing to cooperate with. With both of those, they are going overboard to do so while the rest of us suffer for it in higher taxes and user fees.
