 The next action item is the Board of County Commisioner on Tuesday 3/27 at 2.00pm. Anyone that can make it to the meeting is urged to attend and lend support. Same format as the recent council meeting, we will have designated speakers, press availability and hopefully a crowd ready to make their feeling shown. FYI, although a period of Public Comment is scheduled for each meeting, there are often no members of the public with issues to raise….not this time.

Community action works.
