One more thing
Asked about her hopes for the board’s future, Reiter said collaboration will be important.
“My hope for the future of this county remains as it has always been, that everyone can sit around the table and work together to figure things out,” Reiter said in an email. “I truly believe that is the only way we will all be able to work together to solve any water concerns in Montgomery County. I also do not think there is a right or wrong answer when it comes to our water concerns, but stand firm in my belief that science, not politics, is going to need to be the reason that decisions are made, a sentiment also shared by the district’s board.”
