Marion County Commissioner Kathy Bryant said she thinks it s an incredible opportunity for Woods. Bryant said Woods would be able to bring valuable insight to the community on what s happening at the border. She wishes she could be part of the delegation.
Marion Commission Chairman Jeff Gold said Woods budget presentation day was changed to allow for the trip. Gold said if Woods feels it s important to go to the border, then that s fine.
However, the commissioner said, we ve got problems here locally. Gold said that the Marion County Sheriff s Office is short on deputies for patrol and detention deputies for the Marion County Jail.
