One of the most important roles of public servants is timely communication with their constituents. They should show they care by responding to their concerns and promoting the democratic process.
I asked Commissioner Bell a month ago to contact me about the library issue and books of a sexually graphic nature in our children’s/teen section, and I still haven’t heard from her. I sent a letter to the library director and board, and I appreciate that the library director contacted me. I’m still waiting to hear from the board chair. These voluntary board positions are supposed to serve as checks and balances. Many of us can’t attend board meetings, and the county commissioner meetings are during the day when most people are working or don’t live in the area.
