Broadband? MediaOne- Thii it Broadband. Thii it the way. Yes, Broadband. You see, very soon Broadband will become one of your home's most vital, most essential connections. It's the way the future will find its way to your house. ® When water, gas and electricity came to our homes, they fundamentally changed the way we lived. Our lives were made easier. We had more time to pursue our dreams, to t3ke th3t next step. We believe Broadband will have that kind of impact. This one connection will fundamentally change the way you use your television, your computer, your telephone. Broadband will give your computer the power to be as entertaining as your TV. Your TV will become as smart as your computer. And you will be able to communicate in ways you never thought you could. 0 Broadband is simply a wire with enormous capacity, a wire with 'If0 two-way capabilities. The wire you now think of as bringing you cable TV is being transformed into something that can literally bring you the future. Right now Broadband is allowing peoplfr lp download from the Internet up to 50 times faster than ordinary telephone wire. 0 Broadband's unique two-way capabilities make the word 'interactive* take on an entirely new meaning.

This report is a supplement of the county's comprehensive annual finance report. wayto "1996 has been the county's most successful year ever," said Edward McNamara, Wayne County executive. "Our many get you accomplishments have changed the future of Wayne County from bleak to bright." The initiatives taken by into a Wayne County government has resulted in the following accom plishments: • Nine consecutive years of balanced financial operations with nominally increasing levels of general fund equity. In 1996 the fund had a $20 million undesignated balance. • The county has steadily improved its credit rating over the last 10 years. The improved credit position translates into lower overall interest rates on county bond issues, thereby reducing interest expense and saving taxpayer dollars. • 1996 marked the second consecutive year Wayne County received an unqualified "clean" opinion in the audit report from its outside auditors. 1995 marked the first time the coun ty had received such an opinion.
