People need to vote no on a county planning board

The den of John Day has been silent too long.

The issues of both city and county planning boards have been in the papers a very long time.

During the last county planning board public meeting it was asked if the changes being proposed would be put on the ballot.

The county attorney said, in a very loud voice, "We don't have to let you vote on it."

A group of citizens and I hit the pavement and collected enough signatures to force it onto the ballot.

I called the attorney general's office in Helena to get more information on the guidelines, laws and regulations for city and county planning boards. I received 114 pages about planning boards.

A lot of this was written back in 1946 and 1947.

How can the county formulate change on guidelines that were developed over 60 years ago?

They have been planning this a long time and the county is at it again.

If you want to know a lot more about this county planning board, please feel free to call me at 826-4405.

As a group of informed citizens we can make a change.

We have proved this twice when we voted NO on the expansion of the territorial area for Plains.

Vote no on the Sanders County Planning Board.
