Dear Council,
Please do not continue planning or funding county projects that were voted down in the last election. Incredibly, the “No” vote is being re-interpreted by believers in alternative facts to mean “OK.” Funding was one issue in that election, and financing seems the only issue being considered today, as if that’s all that matters. But there are other things in life than money—for example, representative democracy.
You, the council, should not get to override the voting population. The county as a whole spoke last fall. It is dishonest and sleazy for you even to consider circumventing the outcome of the election.
