New Board Rules and Policies on Calaveras agenda

   The Calaveras Board of Supervisors has worked diligently to take away the publics right to speak, to cut short the public's right to speak, to tell them exactly what words they can speak, and to make everyone feel uncomfortable and awkward if they wish to address the Board, especially if it is not something they want to hear.

   Yet on the January 28, 2014 agenda, in paragraph 4 of the Summary, they state "The Board has actively worked to encourage broader public participation in local government, by adopting a schedule to include evening meetings and by seeking to create an informal and welcoming environment in the boardroom."  How can they lie, many people are asking?

Going from 5 minutes per item of taxpayer speaking to 3 minutes or less. The vote will tell a lot, about who should not be re-elected. Any predictions on those who vote yes & those who vote no?
What't that old saying? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the fire?
Limited resources was mentioned. Yep, the county has limited dollars, who's fault is that? Just think next month the mid-year budget review should be on the agenda. I wonder if the question of raising of taxes will be raised?
