Hello John,
Thank you for taking the time to read the Charter before making decisions. That seems to be a rare
instance.
Personally I like our Constitutional Republic as is now the law, whether or not they follow it. It seems to be the trend
these days for the government to 'micro-manage ' the citizens. If they are going to insist upon taking our money, our assets, our time and our lives from us without even a by-your-leave it seems to me appropriate for the citizens to
require a 'contract' that limits what they can do without our approval.
Regards,
Jaye

Hi Jaye,
Thanks for sending me a copy of the proposed County Charter. I have read it through and appreciate the time and thought that has gone into drawing it up. I wish all citizens would take their government as seriously as you do. You are to be commended for your participation. Having said that, I have serious reservations about the charter. There are some specifics that I would like to discuss with you, but my general concerns are that the proposed
charter would make county government very unresponsive and that it works against the sentiment of most people I talk to who are content with the concept of a representative democracy. The charter in many ways almost
returns us to the time the Greeks first developed the concept of a democracy when matters of government were put to a vote of the citizens. Over the years that has, in all instances of which I am aware, evolved to a representative
form of democracy in which matters of government, within specified limits, are turned over to elected officials.--
Thanks again for all you have done and for sending me a copy of the proposed charter.
