I absolutely agree with C-Man. The commissioners need to be elected. Citizens's initiative? I love the idea, but who will do the work? I worked really hard on the Net Ban initiative after I retired. It made so much sense, and we got okay support , but not enough cash. I remember the Cattlemen's Association saying "We'll give you money next time". How would we get the word out about the initiative? Who would support us financially? I've said it many, many times that if each of us would contribute just the cost of a decent breakfast at a good restaurant, we would have at least three million dollars to politic with, and we could get ANYTHING we want with that amount of funding. But fishermen will bitch, but not contribute.
