We have been observing Vanderburgh County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave for a long time and must admit that she is a hard-working and dedicated public servant.
Cheryl is known to be somewhat headstrong and sometimes becomes a little opinionated.  She has a reputation for doing her homework and enjoys a spirited public debate on the facts. From time to time Commissioner Musgrave takes on the political establishment without wavering. We especially like the way she fought for public access to closed-door meetings which forced greater accountability.  Although she is very conservative she has the ability to embrace financially progressive ideas.
Finally, we are pleased with the way our current Vanderburgh County Commissioners are working in harmony for the betterment of the citizens of Vanderburgh County.
