Does the Board of Supervisors Have a Fiduciary Responsibility to the Public?
As fiduciaries of the Public Trust, the supervisors must always display honesty, integrity, and good faith toward their constituents, the People. My feeling is that Hardy Bullock, Sue Hoek, Heidi Hall, and Ed Scofield have failed their constituents in this area. Hall and Bullock touted that they did fact-check the salary comparisons, but this is possible when you line up the comparative counties.
Nevada County’s Failed Expert-Driven Ideology
The general feeling of the public that our supervisors and the County lack respect for our residents, local businesses, and for taxpayer dollars is a natural consequence of the County’s ideology which is based upon the idea that the supervisors and the County are the “experts” and that the public is ignorant and is incapable of caring for itself.

Heidi Hall Disparages Constitution and Local Resident at LWV Forum
According to Heidi Hall, when a citizen seeks to defend the constitutional rights of Nevada County citizens, and to ensure transparent and fair governance and elections, it is a “waste of funds.” Rather than taking responsibility for what happens in County departments, Hall seeks to infringe on the constitutional rights of a local resident, act in secret, and then bully that resident with fabrications for political gain at a campaign forum.
Attacks on Proposition 13
California families already pay the highest taxes in the nation, and all taxpayers are at risk of even higher taxes.

Obituary to Freedom – American Journalist Gonzalo Lira Killed in Ukrainian Prison
Not one single mainstream media outlet (aside from FoxNews) is reporting on the death of this American journalist, Gonzalo Lira. Why, especially after the MSM fawned over Brittney Griner’s arrest in Russia on drug charges related to illegally bringing marijuana into the country?

What about Lira being held captive in Ukraine for exercising free speech? Seems simple enough. Unlike Russia and Putin, Ukrainians are our friends, right?

Ordinary citizens are not allowed to attend the yearly budget sessions. Neither are citizens privy to negotiations in how salaries and pay raises are decided. Consequently, there’s no transparency in budget decision-making.
