This is untrue.Commissioner Milne chairs the Marion County Commission on Public Safety, which wholeheartedly endorsed this strike force. Commissioner Milne also, along with Commissioners Carlson and Brentano, changed the matrix at the county jail to accommodate the change in bail for meth dealers.To say Commissioner Patti Milne does not support combating meth in our county is simply not accurate. As a matter of fact, she has been leading the fight by her tireless efforts and involvement throughout Marion County. She unequivocally has my support for re-election.
