Council talked a bit about making that section of G two-way permanently, but no decision has been made on that. Voice your opinions to Council and the Mayor.

Three members makes it hard I think to have people across the county represented. It means each commissioner has to represent multiple constituencies. It takes an extra amount of effort to represent everyone. One issue that the article raises for me is the lack of effort elected officials make to listen to those they represent. I am thinking of the county commissioners and their failure to attend any of the public meetings regarding the OHV issue. I am also thinking of the current Salida City Council which has a penchant for doing things behind closed doors (See 63-20 and NRC). I think more effort should be made to allow people to interact with their elected officials. By the time the public meeting rolls around, it often feels like the decision has already been made even before the public has a chance to weigh in. BTW Here is a link to the staff report on the OHV meeting. It seems to almost 2 to 1 against. http://gigshowcase.com/EndUserFiles/35270.pdf It is sometimes difficult to get a board to be representative when it is small like the county commissioners.

Our representatives often seem to represent only voters with similar views and then make decisions from those opinions. Salida's very important citizens working in the service industry are the silent majority of employees in our fine city. Those jobs attract tourists creating our sales tax revenue that fund 75% of our city's income. The concerns and needs of these hard working and often under-paid citizens also deserve full representation at county and city meetings. Right on Chuck.
