Transparency & Communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

As a 40-year radio communications professional and 22-year elected official, I am used to life in the public eye. I have openly shared my life\u2019s ups and downs with an audience for years. Openness \u2013 Transparency \u2013 is an environment comfortable for me. It nurtures trust and understanding. A nothing-to-hide attitude benefits all and grows confidence in government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government works best when it operates in the sunlight of constituent oversight and scrutiny. Available technology makes transparency an easier endeavor than ever before and should be a goal of Weld County Government. Weld County is blessed with healthy finances and available cash resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a proponent of investing in transparency and oversight, including the audio\/video broadcast and archive of all public meetings, a technology that makes county elected officials\u2019 email accessible online for public viewing, and public comment via teleconferencing are just a few of the readily available technologies that would increase transparency. Simple and affordable steps such as these can easily be taken to increase transparency and public interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am proud to say that I lead the way to making the Weld Board of County Commissioners meetings live-streamed online. The Board now utilizes this streaming system to provide weekly public updates on Wednesday. I am also excited to say that the Board of County Commissioners are now doing weekly Facebook Live sessions. I will continue to advocate for increased communication and town hall-style meetings between the Board of County Commissioners and our constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the efforts in increased transparency and communication is #RightForWeld!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
