Today, we pause to honor the brave souls who gave their lives in service to protect the freedoms we hold dear. Their courage was not just in the battles they fought, but in the quiet moments when they chose duty over comfort, and sacrifice over safety. Their legacy fuels our resolve to honor and protect what they sacrificed for. May God bless them.

At a recent Mercer County Board of Commissioners meeting, one thing became clear: Mercer County needs more transparency.

In 2026, there is no excuse for the public not being able to watch these meetings live. Residents deserve real-time access to the decisions that affect their tax dollars and their community.

Just as concerning, commissioners were given materials and handouts, but the public was not. No screen. No copies. No way for citizens to fully follow what was being discussed.

Officials came forward to present requests, yet many were never even identified for the public. People in the room were left wondering who they were and why they were there. That is not open government.

When requests were made for documents supporting proposed amendments, the response was simply that officials would “look into it.” That is not transparency.

Taxpayers deserve answers, especially when decisions involve hundreds of millions of dollars.

The same goes for requests to increase the county clerk’s postage budget for mail-in ballots. If previous funds were not fully used, the public has every right to ask why more is needed now.

The people of Mercer County pay for this government. They deserve full access, full disclosure, and full transparency.

If government wants public trust, then it must be willing to let the public see the process.
