Part of the argument was financial, part practical. The policy setting done by the board can be done with any reasonable number of members. Perhaps more pointed was the comment by the proescutor, who said the board is too involved with the county's everyday operations and that this action would send a clear message. That's blatant, but in this case maybe blatant is a good thing. They will be working on plans to divide the county into seven districts this week, and will meet at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Public comment is encouraged, so take advantage of the opportunity.
