"It's a great honor to receive
this recognition," said Joe
Ritchie, a professional forester
and arborist who is Crawfordis
right-of-way superintendent.
Only 97 utilities nationwide
have received the Tree Line
USA designation. To receive
the honor, a utility must
demonstrate superior efforts in
promoting quality tree care,
annual worker training, tree
planting programs and public
education. Crawford becomes
only the second electric cooper-
ative in the state to earn this
distinction.
Besides the Tree Line USA
ceremony, Arbor Day activities
at the co-op will include
PowerTown electrical safety
demonstrations, displays
explaining the cooperativeis
right-of-way program and
information about proper prun-
ing techniques. Members will
receive a Tree Line USA T-shirt
and a shortleaf pine eedling
while supplies last.

31TION NO. 1 IS NOT A TAX INCREASE
,Pril 8, 2003, voters will be asked to vote on reinstating the existing one-half cent Capital
Sales Tax. This is not a new tax nor a tax increase. It was approved by voters in 1985,
in 1993 and 1998. 85% of this will go to the maintenance of county roads, bridges and
15% will go to the maintenance of the Courthouse and other County buildings and the
Act for handicap access facilities. This is not a property tax but a sales tax which
anyone spending money in Crawford County. It actually helps to keep your property tax
COmmission feels that a sales tax is more fair to everyone since everybody shares the cost.
,r this tax the last three years was $648,395.00 in Road and Bridge and $114,422.00
1house and American Disability Act. This amounts to over 40% of the total Road and Bridge
and 100% of the Courthouse and American Disability Act.
Very vital part of the County budget. This Commission is committed to no tax increases for
residents but we encourage you to vote yes on April 8th to keep what we already have,
