The two amendments subject to voter approval are: (1) Return to partisan elections  and (2) expand the Commission to nine.  The League was very involved in getting non-partisan election of Commissioners, so opposition to the first is easy for us to defend.   The second point has multiple issues, one of which is its expense.   There are several other issues that are also likely to be presented.

It is especially important to have League members speak to the issues at the hearing.  Having closely followed the process thus far, Delores Furtado has offered to help us by providing the details for the issues and what needs to be said.  Statements will be brief and focused AND not confrontational or inciting.  If you can attend and will speak, please notify Delores asap so that there can be a clear and coordinated League response.

As soon as date, time, and location are made available, this post will be updated with them.

If you missed the Johnson County Vision 2030 LWVJOCO September 2011 meeting, you can still take part in the conversation here and you can review the Johnson County Vision 2030 draft here,

See you at the next meeting.
