What Leadership Changes Are Needed to Give us Improved Transit?
Important Note: The March 3rd Primary is the decisive election for Orange County Commissioners so we encourage everyone to get out and VOTE.
We think the challengers, At-Large candidate Amy Fowler and District 1 candidate Jean Hamilton, will join District 2 candidate Renee Price to bring the kind of leadership on transit that is needed. Specifically they would:
- Recognize mistakes made in the past and be willing to make data-driven transit decisions going forward;
- Work collaboratively with the towns where the transit challenges are most severe;
- Be willing to adopt a new governance structure with stronger local control for planning and prioritization for how our county dedicated transit tax will be spent; and
- Increase transparency and communication between decision-making bodies and stakeholders.
Based on our experience, we have found incumbents Rich, Marcoplos, and Dorosin unresponsive to these guiding policies and we are looking for new leadership.
