From budgeting woes to shortages in house, workforce and childcare, there are many daunting issues facing both the Great Bend City Council and the Barton County Commission. But, both bodies meeting in their second-annual joint meeting Monday night said cooperation will only make these challenges easier to overcome. “It’s up to everyone to make this county a good place,” said Ward 2 Councilwoman Jolene Biggs. “We have a lot of good things going.” “Your constituents are our constituents,” District 2 County Commissioner Barb Esfeld said, echoing Biggs’ sentiments. “We’ve just got to keep working together.”
