Commissioner Chris Day – Steve has been very beneficial to Preble County, most people don't have a clue. He's been the ahh Chair of the Executive Committee for many many years. Ahh and Steve brings a good level head and he works well with the District folks and ahh a lot of these things such as the terms and things he brings to the table will be missed severely. Whoever takes Steve's spot and obviously Kyle is in line to replace him there is going to have to a learning curve….. Preble County has gotten millions of dollars through grants loans.
