And while we’re on the idea of cooperation between publicofficials, we would be remiss not to make note of recent jointefforts between Brookhaven and Lincoln County leaders.

From a recent trip to Washington aimed at securing federalfunding for a new business part and other projects to last week’sjoint address by Mayor Bob Massengill and Supervisors PresidentBobby Watts to update the area on recent progress and future goals,the city and county are working side by side with a true spirit ofcooperation.

We congratulate them for their efforts and encourage them tokeep working together.
