YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
 

It is important for decision makers at the county level to hear from their constituents. You as a  community member are who they were elected to represent.  Remember to be respectful and courteous at all times. Your concerns will speak for themselves when communicated calmly with precision.  Public input is not only your right, but it also provides a critical layer of checks and balances that are in place to assure honest and transparent process.  Without public input, decision makers can too easily assume the public has no concerns.  When this occurs, weighing whether a specific project presents more benefits than impacts to the community is often not considered in a sufficiently comprehensive manner.  Concerned community members can (and should) write letters to the entire Board of Supervisors (not just your own District representative) whether or not they intend to speak at public hearings and, whenever possible,  arrange to meet and speak with Supervisors individually before the hearing date on any specific project of concern.
