Happy Tarkanian is running
Editor:
We were encouraged to see that Danny Tarkanian has decided to run for re-election to the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners. Danny has been a welcome addition to the Board and a strong supporter of the small businesses in the county. It has been a refreshing difference to have a reasoned, objective and intelligent Commissioner working for the people in the 1st district, and indeed the entire county. There are many factors that have led to our decision to support Danny’s re-election, among them are:
1. Extra efforts to keep his constituents informed on all issues before the BOCC. We receive notice of all issues via e-mail facing the Board before meetings take place, and he also informs us after the votes and meetings with the results, and with the reasons for the decisions he made at the meetings
2. Danny has also had public meetings that anyone can attend outside of the regular BOCC business in order to get to know the people of the county and his district, and to discuss concerns that people might have as to the direction the BOCC should take on issues that effect them. It is a real benefit to be able to talk with governing officials in a non-formal setting. It is interesting that County officials tried to act to prevent this from happening.
3. While we haven’t agreed with Danny on every issue, what we have come to expect is a well reasoned, thought out, and objective response on every opinion, something missing from former commissioners, and dare we say it some current ones and his current opponent as well.
Thanks Danny for all your efforts on behalf of the constituents of the 1st District. We hope to see you on the Board for another 4 year term.
