On January 24, 2024, the Nevada County League of Women Voters hosted a candidate forum for the candidates for Nevada County supervisor district two - Robb Tucker, John Herrera, and Jeff Pettitt. Supervisor district two consists of Alta Sierra, Lake of the Pines, and other south county areas of Nevada County.

Heidi Hall, Sue McGuire, and Michael Taylor responded to questions for the public to assess the qualifications and suitability of the three candidates that are all seeking a four-year term on the next Board of Supervisors to represent the Nevada City and Chicago Park areas of Nevada County.

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? Eventually, the Biden regime negotiated her release in exchange for Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer who was arrested and convicted in the United States. What about Lira being held captive in Ukraine for exercising free speech? Seems simple enough. Unlike Russia and Putin, Ukrainians are our friends, right?

Elections are an opportunity to express one’s will, as well as a struggle to remain free.

Nevada County senior staff received pay increase during COVID at times exceeding $100,000. Currently, there’s no citizen oversight of county expenditures. 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.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deserves the admiration of a nation as one of its most influential leaders during the civil rights movement in the mid-20th century. In honor of his life and, in large part, the positive, Christian influence which he provided a nation during a most tumultuous era, we have made Dr. King’s birthday a national holiday.

In 2008 and upon the request of the supervisors, the Nevada County Grand Jury conducted an inquiry into compensation and benefits review for the board of supervisors and determined that the position of supervisor in Nevada County is a full-time position.

Election Integrity is essential, or voter turnout will decline significantly.

I am running for Supervisor to give my kids the quality of life and opportunities I had growing up in Placer County.

Given the high salaries of senior staff and elected officials, the tax-paying public is asking for increased action and better performance in meeting Board Objectives. A 40% chunk of the annual budget outlaid as payroll expense is unsustainable, especially in light of the impending downturn in state funding.

“Since its establishment in 1948, Israel has created and maintained an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination over Palestinians.”

On December 14, 2023, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors unanimously opined that Rise Gold does not have a vested right in the Idaho-Maryland Mine. Following one entire day of public comment as well as the two hours of discussion prior to the vote, each supervisor voted to deny Rise Gold’s Vested Rights Petition filed with the County on September 2, 2023, setting up a likely court battle.
