The following Washington County residents addressed the Commissioners during public comment:
Barbara Miller, Executive Director of the Washington Senior Citizens Center, invited everyone to the
Spud Night Fundraiser from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 15, 2022, at the American Legion on Park
Avenue, Washington. All proceeds will go toward building upkeep.
Ashley Duff said she was disappointed that the Commissioners did not accept the referendum
petition about paper ballots. Her group worked hard to put the issue on the ballot, but after they gathered all
of the signatures, they were told the petitions wouldn't be accepted because of the Help America Vote Act
(HAVA). She said this was the chance to make the vote count.
Dheaven Kelly said he was given a survey about county issues and then he found out it was political.
He also said county employees walk through pigeon feces in the parking garage and asked that it be cleaned
UP.
Annie Shaner stated the Commissioners do not owe Ashley Duff an apology for not accepting the
petition because it was the committee's job to do their homework. She said this isn't about election integrity,
but about their own political ideology. They want to blame someone else, but it's their own fault for not
looking into the procedure themselves.
Deb Coury said it's not about ideology, it is about free and fair elections. She said their group went
door to door and found many voting discrepancies. She gave examples of discrepancies and spoke about
Afghanistan, the invasion of illegal immigrants who don't have to be vaccinated, fentanyl that is coming over
the border, teaching five -year -olds about transgenderism, and the teaching of Critical Race Theory. She said
we need free and fair elections to change this demonic takeover of our country and our world.
THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONER'S RESPONSE
Commissioner Irey Vaughan, addressing the issue raised eaven Kelly, said the parking garage in
question is owned by the City of Washington. The city was m Hof the issue and the board hopes they
will address it.
