Williams cares about county residents

Please don’t forget our history. The value of looking backward before going forward has been repeated to us often. So, let’s talk about the Bonner County commissioner meetings. Does anyone remember how public input was shut down by the former commissioners? Commissioner Asia Williams made countless motions to overcome this, but the other two commissioners never seconded her motion. Thus, her motion could not go forward. So frustrating.

But she persevered and now, with new commissioners on board that have the same viewpoint, public input is promoted. Presently, public input is invited after each departmental presentation as well as at the end of the meeting. Thank you, Commissioner Asia Williams. 

And please don’t forget the departmental chats that Commissioner Williams instituted. Constituents wanted to know more about each department. So, she invited them to an 8 to 9 a.m. chat with those interested. (The building opens at 9 a.m. usually). 

Oh yes, and what about the Saturday town halls for the departments? This is quite a bit above and beyond what a commissioner does. Yet, she is just that. She is outstanding. Thank you again Commissioner Asia Williams. You have certainly secured my vote Tuesday, May 19.
