Cascade County Commissioner District Maps

Jeni Dodd on March 2, 2018

Editors note: The deadline to file for county-wide elections is March 12. The only Cascade County Commission seat up for election is the District 3 seat currently held by Democrat Jane Weber. So far, Weber is unopposed. Commission candidates must live within the district they are running to represent.

Lots of folks have been complaining about the county commission district maps on the Cascade County website. So I took the initiative to contact Rina Moore, Cascade County Clerk and Recorder to request better maps.

Those maps have now been posted and are found here:

Those maps can be downloaded as PDF, making it easy to zoom in and out.

Anonymous Packet Hits The Westside, Rips GFPS

ECB Staff on March 24, 2017

A number of Westside residents received a surprise in their mailboxes this week, in the form of the following 12-page packet. In it, the author takes issue with Tammy Lacey and GFPS for the School District’s construction plans at the Little Russell School site. The District’s operations facility does not conform with county zoning requirements.

One Westsider (who was kind enough to share the material with us) remarked that s/he was “appalled” because, “Jane Weber doesn’t give a damn about what any of us have to say. We all signed a petition saying we didn’t want this in our neighborhood, but all Jane cares about is giving Tammy the good news. I guess we’re not as important as Tammy.”

(You are Weber’s constituents, though.)

You can view the entire packet below…

Replacing Mary Moe

ECB Staff on January 14, 2017

With Mary Moe’s resignation from SD-12 imminent, Cascade County Democrats must submit three names to the Cascade County Commission, which will then appoint Moe’s replacement to the Legislature.

From the Central Committee’s website, here is the latest list of interested names:

Mike Henning
Garrett Lankford
Bob Moretti
Carlie Boland
Zach Angstead
Ron Szabo
Don Ryan
Kathleen Galvin Halcro
Albert Ferderer
Angie Rolando
Hannah Pate

The word is, from People Who Know Things, that Boland and Lankford are the clear front runners, at least within the CCDCC.
