The commissioners are catering to special interests (the Tribe, nature-lovers) over the general public. That's wrong and should not be tolerated. Widespread public disclosure of this favoritism may embarrass the commissioners and coerce them into doing what's right. Our taxes pay for these roads and if emergency vehicles are delayed due to a circuitous route, the potentially dire ramifications will be on the commissioners hands and could end their political careers if publicized. Remind them of that.

We are trying our best "No One". I'd think the shell of burned down house would be a powerful reminder that the road's closure has already been a "loss" for some unfortunate community members

Sigh. I ran into Ozias last Saturday and beat his ear for a few minutes, but it was at the Boys & Girls Club fundraiser, so I was brief and polite. I feel like we’re barking at the moon, given all the resistance.

Remind them of the political ramifications if an ambulance is delayed by the road closure and it results in a death. The blood will be on the commissioners' hands, potentially ending their political careers.

Injunctive relief. Somebody within that area must file suit.

Global input? I have made a PRA request for this "global" input.

What the tribe wants, the tribe gets. Is anyone out there paying attention to the 32-bed psych center (for the criminally insane) that is currently in the permitting stage? Wake up people!
