RE: [CPEO-MEF] Lines in the Sand

There is little I can add to what I consider a well thought out, all
sides considered, logic Lenny.  As for the 'local government', I learned 
how powerful County Commissioners are (and have been told by numerous 
professionals it is probably the most powerful arm of our 
government-comparatively speaking).  Counties are always 'scrambling'
for more revenue to balance their budgets and development seems to be 
the biggest source to meet the financial needs.  As communities face 
these issues and concerns, I would encourage everyone to establish a 
respectful and working relationship (if possible) with those locally 
elected representatives. As one commissioner said to me when I asked the 
question "Who is your boss?" and she responded 'Well, You are!' that 
summed up the importance of each citizen's involvement with 'local 
politics'.
