    I won! 2nd term as a County Legislator. This win was a bit tougher than the 1st one, but I made it.

    We oversee ALL county operations. We do not have an executive or manager so we use a committee system. I am chairman of a committee and member of several other committees and boards. My latest appointment was to our County's Global Warming Advisory board. We will make laws and rules to ensure we are doing our part to limit our footprint. We also created a Department of the Environment which was also cool.
    We do lots of other stuff too, but this is the most recent good stuff. We are pretty progressive.

    congratulations........:D

    Ahhhhh, creating more departments and buracracy (spelling please?)....the "Progressive way" ;)

    Congrats...and remember, taking money from other people and throwing it at problems won't solve them. Good luck.

    Cincy, I can see where you would think that. But, being the tax and spend liberals that we are, we are also committed to budget neutral initiatives. We inherited a financial mess from the Republicans and are committed to proving that you can implement progressive ideas within the budget. We are taking portions and duties of other departments to create the new one. We are cutting in some places and using our "power" as the majority to implement ideas that will benefit us now and in the future. We are thinking.... not just acting.
