Famous quotes containing the words county and/or council:

    I believe the citizens of Marion County and the United States want to have judges who have feelings and who are human beings.

    I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet.

    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
