Deming: Why five tops three, but it won't be easy
Dan Deming
Reno County Commissioners are again looking at expanding to five rather than three members. That's good news for those believing in better government, more ideas and improved representation.
Getting that question passed by voters may take more time, however, than voting this November. Placing the proposition on the 2022 general election ballot, when far more voters go to the polls, is probably a better idea. It would give more opportunity for a thorough study of the challenging re-alignment of commission districts to meet state law standards and selling merits to a skeptical electorate.
