Swearing in of the New Elected Officials 

Welcome Our New Chairman Chad Choate and Vice Chair Cindy Spray 

Chad ran the meetings like a Champion Chair!! He’s been listening and taking notes. 

Hear Gina Messenger and Mary Foreman Nominate themselves and why they should be Chairman. 

Listen to each Elected Official Speak about their Vision and what their Responsibilities will be as a New Board Member

The Great American Patriot for the People wasted no time!

Richard took the bulls by the horn to stop the disrespect and implement immediately that the cameras be turned back on the Public Comment speakers. He did not back down when “Legal” said it was not good practice to make a motion during this meeting. Even though, it was a Legal motion.  Still grandstanding and bureaucracy to the fullest. Not on the new boards watch!!

Richard said it was disrespectful to the Tax Payers as he knows how it felt from the other side. Split screen was his other unrelenting request. He said all too often did he see Board Members not paying attention to the public speakers. “They are the ones that pay our salaries.”  

The motion was passed and now you will see a split screen with the public speaker and the full five board members in the same viewing.

You can also hear discourse between Mary Foreman and Gina Messenger about their thoughts on the Cameras. They both admit that the Board never voted on the Cameras to be turned off the public speakers. It has been almost 2 years that the public has been requesting that the cameras be turned back around. So why did it take so long? Why if it was not voted on and after multitudes of emails and phone calls was it not resolved at the Tax Payers request?

Well no worries this is WHY we voted in real Patriots who are working for the People!!
