On Thursday, Feb. 23rd, eight BCRW members and an associate member turned out for a Tea Party sponsored by Benton AFP in front of the courthouse. They rallied in support of churches facing negative building code changes and landowners facing the addition of unneeded rules and regulations that nearly amount to 'takings' on riparian and wetland areas that the Benton County Board of Commissioners will be considering. In addition, the tea partiers protested wasteful use of funds regarding the purchase and remodeling of county owned properties and a recent 'heartless' ruling by Commissioners Linda Modrell and Annabelle Jaramillo, denying Charles Fischer his 5-year appeal to build six homes on his 30-acre property on which he can no longer farm due to complaints by neighbors, whose properties have already been divided. Republicans Betsy Close and Jerry Jackson, primary candidates for two commission seats, attended the rally.
