Update on County Hall

I waited for two weekdays to go by - Friday and Monday - in hopes that Chairman Brian would respond quickly to the citizen petition without prompting. I still hadn't heard anything by Tuesday morning, so I called the County Administrative Office, explained who I was, and asked if Chairman Brian planned to send me a reply. The person I talked to said someone from Tom Brian's office would get back to me, and let me know; this morning (Wednesday), I finally received an email. According to the message I got, copies of some of the various materials I've sent Chairman Brian are being made for other members of the Board of Commissioners to look at. So the ball is rolling forward, though it remains to be seen how the Board of Commissioners will finally respond. Keep checking this blog for updates.

About Me

engel
Hillsboro, OR USA

Student at Pacific University

ENGEL: Environmental ethics; New leadership; Green development; Economic sustainability; Local action! As a student activist, I am working to bring attention to global warming in Oregon. Most of my work takes place at the local level; I have convinced my own city of Hillsboro, OR, to sign onto the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, and I am now working to get Washington County, OR to sign onto the county-level version of this same pledge. On my blog ENGEL (acronym explained above), I report on local government actions all over the state which either help or hinder the climate movement; there are lots of opportunities for readers of this blog to help contribute to the climate movement by making their voices heard; whether in city or county governments, at school, or anywhere else. Please help me make change in Oregon! -Nick
