  • SCDP – Moving Forward

    Now that county re-org is done, and the weekend has likely been spent recuperating from the hard work, and probably harder celebrations that followed, it’s time to start talking about the inevitable “what next” issues that come with winning.

It would be easy enough to talk about all the problems…
