• We feel it important to point out the fact that Mr. Burkett has a direct link to the Riggs/Nicholson camp. Burkett's Deputy Campaign Treasurer is Mrs. Paula Riggs' (Current County Commissioner) husband, Steve Riggs and Dunn's Campaign Treasurer is Mr. Riggs associate, Paul Storey.
• The Zimmerman family* has had that multi-million dollar contract,  NOT OPENED FOR BID, for the last 8 years. It was bid 3 times, starting in 1989, but they've owned it ever since.
• Waste Management is the bunch that just got a 10 year extension on the county garbage contract, without it being bid!^* BFI, the largest such company in the U.S. guaranteed, on paper, a significantly lower bid. It never happened!
• Nancy Deckert is Rick Deckert's wife. Deckert is the power at the Tourist Development Council.
