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."
