"No staffer left behind"-Kent County likely to end controversial farmland preservation program

Kent County likely to end controversial farmland preservation program | MLive.com:
"Talen earlier this year expressed concerns that some fellow commissioners entertained eliminating even a staff position to oversee the program.
The proposed 2014 budget includes $28,000 for staffing, down from the $38,000 budgeted this year.

We can’t eliminate the staff expense altogether because we have easements to maintain,” Talen said.
“We have to do inspections to make sure nobody’s building on the properties.”"
