Pies and Great Discussion at Meet and Greet

Despite some foggy weather and possible slippery roads, LWVPRA had a good turn out of elected officials and community members Thursday night.   Everyone broke into small groups of 5 to 7 people with one or two elected officials. Community members expressed their concerns and asked questions on a variety of topics: nursing home, roads, pipeline, property taxes, recording of commissioners meetings, development vs environment, and many more. Every 15 minutes the groups shifted to speak with another official.  The evening was very informal and many people expressed how pleased they were with the format.  Several people recommended that League should hold more of these sessions maybe even in other parts of the county. Everyone learned a lot and experienced democracy at its very best.
