Dear Editor:
Citizens of Rio Blanco County, I am inviting you to attend a very important Rio Blanco County work session and regular meeting being held on Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Items to be considered include a resolution to defund the County’s voting machine and expending a large sum of money from the Oil Shale Trust Fund (County Capital Trust Fund), which was created in 1982 to provide opportunities for grants to all the taxing districts/entities in Rio Blanco County through a countywide process. This is especially important for the 18 taxing districts/entities in Rio Blanco County, who could be adversely affected without a voice.
It is time to get involved. I think we all have developed an attitude that we can’t make a difference. However, I believe that if we all get involved, no matter what is going on, better decisions are made. Remember, we are the recipients of the decisions our elected officials make and in America, we still have a voice. This is your platform and opportunity to be part of decision making, through positive constructive conversation. Please plan to attend both the work session and regular meeting so we can all be completely informed.
Please watch for the work session time to be posted online or on the courthouse door facing Main Street.
Website address: rbc.us select ELECTED OFFICES AND BOARDS, then under the heading of BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER, select work sessions – to be posted by BOCC at an undetermined time on Friday, April 8, 2022.
Sincerely,
Your fellow concerned citizen,
Sharon Day
