Public meeting on proposed changes in Latah government

The Optional Forms of County Government Commission will meet at 7 pm on
Monday, March 24th in Room 2-B of the County Courthouse. This commission
has been meeting for about a year to develop proposals for structural
changes in our county's government. They have come up with three proposed
changes regarding a new county manager position, the number of
commissioners, and appointment-vs-election of several key positions
(including Sheriff).
I'll try to post the text of the proposals in the next couple of weeks. In
the meantime, consider attending this Monday's meeting to hear the
rationale, ask questions, and give your opinion. When the proposals are
finalized, they'll be put to a vote -- all up or all down. In this time of
unfunded mandates, complex governance issues, and tight budgets, the
proposed changes could have an enormous impact on the shape of our local
government.
