Frank Freels: Defender of the Status Quo

According to the Hendersonville Star-News, when incumbent County Commissioner Frank Freels was asked about why he's seeking another term on the County Commission, he indicated he is proud of the work the Commission has done in recent years.  Specifically, he said,
 “We’re the best-run county in the state right now.”

Apparently, Mr. Freels thinks a well-run county engages in repeated crisis budgeting instead of properly supporting schools.

Or, perhaps he thinks the 2012 School Budget Crisis is an example of sound management?

Maybe he thinks the County Commission should continue using accounting gimmicks to balance the school system's budget?

Or perhaps he can explain why he wouldn't support a proposal to use reserves from the Hospital Fund to help open schools back in 2012?

Or, is his idea of a well-run county one that engages in a multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded bailout of a mismanaged insurance trust?

If Frank Freels is going to run as a defender of the status quo on the County Commission, he's going to have to answer a lot of tough questions.  If he has new ideas about how to improve the body, it's time to start talking about them.
