I don't often agree with Bruce Kranz. However, his position to oppose funding of over $100,000 for an ag marketing director is correct.

We already have an "Economic Development Department." What comes next? A big-box-store marketing director? I support agriculture with my purchasing dollar, spending tax dollars to promote a specific private sector group is just plain wrong.
