Should Boulder County add two commissioners seats?
from The Mountain-Ear Podcast · host The Mountain-Ear Staff
Send us Fan Mail This week, reporter and editor Shay Castle met with local organizers from Big Tent BoCo, a group that's petitioning to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five. Organizers Masyn Moyer and Rachel Friend are pushing for better representation for the county - especially for the the more rural, western half of BoCo. Though it's not uncommon for a county of this size to only have three commissioner seats, they make an interesting case to add two members. Listen in to hear their story, and how you can get involved.
