Have you thought about running against them? Go get the paperwork, stand out in front of the post office and collect signatures.

- Tostino 2mo agoWay too much money gets spent on local elections in this area, and just about everybody there is a legacy name of one sort or another. I'm also in the middle of my second startup, with a toddler. I can raise some hell though. Edit: I just (had claude) looked up how much was spent on each elected seat across the candidates, and for each of the 5 county commissioner's seats, the election spend between the candidates for that seat was an average of 250k. The wonderful lady in pink (salmon?), Mrs Starkey, has a bit of sway in the area: https://photos.app.goo.gl/WBPRWMduJ15k9Aj46 https://photos.app.goo.gl/WBPRWMduJ15k9Aj46
- mywittyname 2mo agoHand out pamphlets at the voting station with your name and, "I'll get Flock cameras removed." That's probably all you need to do. It depends on where you live, but some local offices are decided by as little as a few dozen voters.
- bell-cot 2mo agoWhen's the next election for county commissioners, where are candidates running against them likely to come from, and is there any local vibe on the issue? Running yourself would be a whole lotta work. Fear that they'll soon be out of office should be ample incentive for the anti-privacy commissioners to suffer sudden changes of heart. Or if not - are there any energetic local reporters, who might dig up some evidence of Flock greasing palms?
