The thing I don't get about the planning kerfluffle

...is that the number "68,277" keeps getting thrown around, and people talk about how the county needs to plan for growth. That 68,277 is from the 2000 census. The Census Bureau estimated the county's population at 66,897 in 2008, a decline of 1,380.

Shouldn't the county be planning how to deal with this decline in population instead? I should think that with an aging population and fewer people overall, they might be thinking about reallocations and reductions instead.
