The remaining five commissioners receive no votes from OP; that's why I interested in how OP can influence the other five. Another unfortunate thing is the current two commissioners from this area do not have agreat deal of influence with the other five. Our 2 commissioners simply have to put the interests of their constituents first and begin promoting a rec or senior center or whatever in the OP/Northern County area. All commissioners need/want certain things for their district - the classic quid pro quo or "my vote for your vote." |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I would suggest that the way to get the attention of any politician is with a campaign that involves "votes" or the lack thereof. I have been to a few of Judy Boggs town meetings which are basically love fests. Jack, unfortunately those who live in OP can only vote for two commissioners of seven (total OP vote for one and less than 50% OP vote for the other.) Then it must also be noted less that 50% of lot owners actually can vote in Worcester County. The remaining five commissioners receive no votes from OP; that's why I interested in how OP can influence the other five. Another unfortunate thing is the current two commissioners from this area do not have agreat deal of influence with the other five. |
