When I read this comment, I was so moved - I don't know who this person is, but I wanted to make sure that others read her comment - and while you are at it - please read the comments that were left on this post - people are in agreement with these comments:
"This is the same problem we ran into about a two years ago. Our problem was simple but important to myself and neighbors. We wrote emails to each of the board and got no reply. We wrote several more times to see if they just never got the emails and still got no reply. We assumed they didn't use the email because they had no access to computers or something was wrong with their system. The problem was eventually taken care of by the good folks in our neighborhood pitching in together and taking care of the situation ourselves. Probably what they were waiting for any way. Incidentally this was before Marshall Ecker's time so perhaps we do have one person who cares on the board and is in this century. Although I wonder as the rest of the board is always after him and never agree with him. Our board is pitiful to say the least. I am an 81 year old women who took classes at DCC several years back to learn how to use computers and to type. I can't do it well and it takes a while as I have arthritis quite badly but I try. The board needs to change and young people who care about their County for real should be on the board. This board only cares about themselves, power,and getting reelected. It is obvious and why our whole country is in the shape it is. I am at the end of my life and am so saddened by what we have become. I love life but sometimes I wished I hadn't lived so long as to see what we have become. I am glad you who ever you are are doing this as I could never make a board meeting do to my health but am still interested in what goes on there. I am not dead yet."
And here is another comment from someone who tried to contact the supervisors via email:
"In response to this post: I sent all supervisors an e-mail on 4/21 requesting their view/opinion on a topic that I feel is important when discussing future revenue for our county. I only received ONE response, the following day, from Mr. Marshall Ecker. No others have bothered to respond. I actually sent this same question to my local town manager and also got NO response. Thank you fine leaders!"

Here here I could not agree more. Our supervisors are poorly educated at best and it shows. I am 82 years old and i guess they call what I do hunt and peck but I get the job done. It all got out of control because we the people let it. I am at fault myself. I was to busy with my life to worry about the county. I just assumed the elected officials cared and were doing what was best. Shame on me and all of us. Bully to the people who run this thing. It is like reading the paper only better. Not so many opinions more facts. I have my own opinion and don't need the newspapers. I am not to good at the internet and am not sure how it all works but it is pretty amazing. I was told about this from a fiend who saw the 81 year old gal that wrote in. I just wanted to say and let her know I am also saddened to what we have become. I wish there was a good senior citizens place to go close to where that lady was because I would like to meet her. I don't have any friends my age near me nor a real senior citizens place to go to like Florida or up North. Those are some things those folks on the board should be thinking about also. They will be lonely some day also if they are not careful. It took me twenty minutes to do this so maybe that is too much time for them boys but with practice they could get better.
