As you attend meetings with the potential La Plata County commissioner candidates, I suggest these questions:
What is their background experience with running a business, let alone a multi-million-dollar operation like the county?
How will they personally bring balance to the board for impartial decision-making reflecting a varied community?
How will they view our existing, local natural resources versus all types of development to sustain our values and environment; any thoughts as to “carrying capacity” issues?
Have they served as a volunteer on any county committees related to budget, land use, social services, etc.?
