Ty's Take
Town council meetings don't usually light up the social calendar, but when you're sitting on audit numbers for a new year and talking about whether Houston itself ought to grow, people pay attention. The financials review and that expansion discussion going on right now are tied together tighter than a hay bale, because you can't build the future on wishful thinking. This county's been through lean times and strong times both, and what happens in that council chamber ripples out through Licking, Cabool, Summersville, and every homestead with cattle on the back forty. The question of who wants in and who wants to stay put isn't just about roads and water lines, it's about what kind of place this is going to be five years from now. That's worth showing up for.
