Any bill that will give community more voice and power it's worth my support. I attend my community board meetings and I can tell you that while it's a great way to get informed, your voice really goes nowhere since the elected officials and/or developers will do what they want anyways.

I would actually support and encourage a bill that will require anyone who wishes to be part of the commun ity board to run and be elected by those who reside within that community board. This way, those in teh community boards are truly free and can vote on whatever they feel is best for the community and not what is dictated to them.

Maybe this is too progressive but I believe in giving our community a real voice and real power.

Best,
