The Hill County Park Board’s Grazing Committee met Monday at the request of one of its members, Leon LaSalle, who wanted to talk about possible changes to the committee’s makeup, rules and operations in the wake of recent controversies.

Their opinions prior to the vote are important. Everyone has the right to voice his o...
