It was a chance for Barton County officials to see what they have in common with counties from around the state, as well as what sets Barton County apart. County commissioners gave a report Monday morning on the Kansas Association of Counties annual meeting last week in Overland Park. “I think we found that by being with the other commissioners from the other counties that we all kind of had the same opinion on how things ought to run and how much we’re going to need each other,” Commissioner Kenny Schremmer said, adding the convention was beneficial.
