Transparency
Our County Board of Commissioners is currently failing to prioritize transparency and meaningful public engagement. This neglect leaves us uninformed about their priorities and actions, raising concerns about the alignment of their agenda with the community's needs. Without transparency, there is a risk of unchecked power and a lack of accountability, further exacerbating the disconnect between the commissioners' actions and the community's priorities.
Transparency Deficit: Disconnect between Board and Community
- Absence of town hall meetings and public forums
- Limited constructive engagement with the citizens
- Public questions and concerns go unanswered in county board meetings
- Growing perception of the Board being detached from community needs
