remaining board members, and newcomer Fortner, to continue the open
dialogue when making County decisions. Mr. Madison said he had
recently thought about what he wanted to say on this day, and that
the key words that came to him were: honor, courage, integrity and
love. He stressed the need to keep county government accountable,
especially in taxation. "Every penny you receive you are taking
away from the people. The school board is responsible to the
people that elected them, but we are accountable for the money
given to the school systems." Mr. Madison said the County needed
to fund the schools appropriately, the schools needed to be
maintainly adequately, and in return, the educational level of the
students going through the system should be high. Madison said he
was very appreciative that County citizens had bestowed upon him
the honor of being an Iredell County Commissioner for the past six
years.
