Last night, Don and Meg Franco graciously hosted a neighborhood meet and greet for me at their home.
We talked about my efforts to preserve the rural area of the County over the past four years, and how best the Board of Supervisors can encourage “smart growth” in the designated growth area in the future. We even had a farmer in attendance, so it was great to hear everyone’s different perspectives on what mattered most to them.
We also talked about the importance of fully funding public education and police officers. One gentleman said his son is a police officer in the community and it takes him 40 minutes to get to a call sometimes, because he and his fellow officers are spread so thin.
