This last Saturday, February 7th, was really a testament to the amazing energy that can happen when citizens can work together on projects.

The monthly Art Cruise took place that evening to large crowds that toured the galleries and private businesses that displayed fantastic pieces of art including a show at the Main Street Gallery featuring a young graffitti  artist named Jaime whose visual talents were mixed with soulful jazz standards from a jazz duo from Hayfork.   I felt like I was in a studio in New York.  It was wonderful.

Also happening that evening was the annual Rotary Club Chinese New Year celebration which was once again sold out.  Wonderful decor, great food, great music provided by the W.E. S. Jazz band………

Town was hopping.   Now that is a local economy in action.

I am honored to be starting my first year on the Trinity County Board of Supervisors, representing District 2, which is most of Weaverville and the county seat.  It is exciting to be working with this very talented group of individuals both at county level in addition to the amazing volunteer groups who have made such a difference in Weaverville and countywide.

Even in these challenging times, I continue to believe that collectively we have the ability to make significant progress as a community and as a county to move forward in several areas including: job creation, health care delivery, public safety and improved planning and thoughtful residential and industrial development.

Since Trinity County is one of three counties in California without any incorporated cities, the Board of Supervisors carries the weight for a large percentage of the decisions that will affect the future for us all.  I take this responsibility very seriously and know that my decisions are only as good as my communication with the people of the 2^nd District and countywide.

Thank you for your interest in your community and your willingness to be involved in your local government.

The Trinity County Board of Supervisors is making its voice heard regarding the current State budget fiasco. Working through both our state associations and directly with our legislators, board members and staff are all putting any pressure we can on the state decision makers to move forward together to pass a budget. I would encourage all citizens to contact their legislators and the Governor’s office. Contact information is posted on my website here.

The impact that this stalemate has already had on local government’s cash flow and ability to continue to provide services has been significant and the window on our ability to function at all is closing quickly. Even so, I want to reassure residents and county employees alike that we will be able to endure this and this will be resolved due to pressure from the urban counties who are already threatening to withhold sales tax from the state, a significant threat.

It is vital for your state legislators and the governor to hear from you, the average citizen.

Please do your best to place calls to them and make your voice heard.
