Jim Henkel Quotations

We have mutual aid right now with the Richland County health department, so we could call on the county as needed for inspections.

We're definitely going to have to put something (new revenue) into the general fund, because it's to the point where it's getting very difficult to provide services.

We have to do a lot of asking the public what their feelings are. We need input from the public to get a feel of whether we're going to get their support. There's no use putting something on the ballot if you're not going to get support.

We turned our game around here the last couple of games. We out-played them, and we have to build off of that. Everybody has to keep giving 110 percent, and go from there. It?s going to turn around eventually. Hopefully sooner than later.

At one time, 60 percent (of the income tax) went into the general fund, and 40 percent for capital improvements. Now, about 95 percent has to go into the general fund and 5 percent for capital improvements.
