The five applicant’s application letters are available on the posting above or at: http://www.boonecountywatchdog.blogspot.com/2013/01/applicant-letters-for-five-regional.html
In the the case of Mr. Tony Savino the county board has not even been supplied the address of the applicant. Nor does the letter have a signature. See the applicant letters at the above mentioned location. Is this: SAVINO Anthony 17750 Beaverton Rd Capron? Google Search has two entries for such a person and for Savino Construction Company.
