Primary thoughts

With the primary over and two incumbents gone, we suspect that there will not be much election discussion or coverage again until late summer.

We do have some initial thoughts though.

The Board of Supervisors is in desperate need of-

1. Cohesiveness. With four candidates, which two will best bring this board together while still allowing for civil debate and respectful disagreement?
2. Neutrality. Which two will best represent the citizens and not a pac like the infamous “3-D’s” of Howell, Miller and Hoff?
3. Ethics. Whom among these four candidates will restore faith in the Board of Supervisors and remove the rightful cloud of mistrust and doubt by the citizenry.
4. Vision. Which two candidates will grasp the reality that it is too late to control growth per se, but that we need elected officials who can best plan for our already strained infrastructure and resources needs?

We sincerely hope that at least two of these candidates will rise to these significant challenges and let the public know that if elected, that they will answer the call and more.
