What is Your Vision?

[Jeff Harkins <jeffh@jeffharkins.com>]

Greetings Visioneers, 

After several weeks of perusing the postings for Vision2020 in hopes of
learning about the dreams, hopes and needs of Latah Visioneers
(visions????), I am posting a request.  As a candidate for Latah
County Commissioner (independent - District 2), it would be helpful
(indeed appropriate) for me to ascertain the diversity of views about the
future of Latah County from its residents.  Recently, I posted
responses to a questionnaire from Vision 2020 and those statements should
be available soon.  

Now, here are the things that would be useful to hear from you about (I
presume that the other candidates for Latah County Commissioner and/or
other political positions would be interested in these items as well):

• What are your expectations (e.g. dreams, visions, hopes) for the future of Latah County?

• How can County Government promote awareness, ownership and investment of County Residents in Latah County's future?

• What should be the role of County Government (and County leaders) in fostering cooperation among (and public involvement with) the multitude of agencies and organizations that plan for and make decisions about the future of Latah County?

• What are your concerns related to growth and development and how should County leaders respond to issues related to growth and development?

In the spirit of the times, it would be titillating to have
responses that were sincere and thoughtful while promoting thinking
critically and creatively.
