Just a quick response to our VSR report. We believe that your population estimates for 2019 Black, Hispanic, and Asian populations are grossly in error in being over reported. These numbers will greatly skew any results. Also, we are a small town that has a State highway running through it. We are also the County seat which generates a daytime transient population 3 to 5 times higher than our population because of the Courthouse, Jail, County government, and a Junior College. There are also countywide and regional wide events at our Fairgrounds all summer such as the rodeo, horseshow, County Fair, tractor pull, auction, Fall festival, and etc. These events push our transient population 9 to 10 times our local population. All of these conditions have a great potential to affect our traffic stop statistics based only on our population breakdown. Thank you for your consideration of these variants.
