I think we should combine 002 and 003. I believe that before we do anything about the vacant Board position, that the two Census projects should come together on their own and create something bigger and better than sum of the two projects as they now exist. They should do this without Board involvement or pressure. They need to realize that they start with a blank slate. Nothing that the Board has said or might say should come into play. There are intelligent, worthy Volunteers on both sides. They know what should be done, ask them nicely to get on with it and then they can elect a new Board Rep. Maybe we could create them a list where the major players were subbed as participants and the those of us that are interested could sub in a read only mode. If it blew up we would be no worse off than we are now. Jim Alachua County Clerk of the Courts Office Http://www.co.alachua.fl.us/~clerk/
