Watching the county meeting to see what is new. Lots of different committee discussions and responsibiliteis. I like to learn about our local governance and some of the decisions they are making. It should be remembered that governance is a community affair and that each person has a stake in how things turning out. Being informed is one of the most important civic duties we can engage in as citizens. It leads to good governance. One may have a party or a perspective but ultimately it is the needs of the people that should take precedence.
-Compensation for participation on committees that is stated upfront is great. Compensation in terms of tickets and such things are ok as long as they are relatively low in value. However, generally there should be a policy on when these should be reported. We have seen in other places where such perks and benefits can impact decision making.
