To the editor:
It is unconscionable that the Hancock County 4-H Agricultural Association dreamed that county commissioners would grant them a virtually free lease on public land and donate $12 million to them on good faith. Such an act would violate public trust and indicate that the commissioners are unfit to hold public office.
A detailed and legally binding agreement spelling out responsibilities and authority of all parties involved should be in place before any taxpayer property or money is committed to the project.
