Honoring the Brave on Memorial Day 

Did you know that El Dorado County has the highest percentage per capita of veterans in all of the California counties? This Memorial Day, I urge you to spend time honoring the brave men and women who have fought for this county in the name of our freedom. There will be two ceremonies held in El Dorado County. On the West Slope, the ceremony will begin at 11 am at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument, located at 330 Fair Lane in Placerville. In the Tahoe Basin, please join me at the Happy Homestead Cemetery (on Johnson Blvd) for the local American Legion's ceremony beginning at 11:00 am.

New Public Safety Memorial Wall dedicated

Last Friday, our South Tahoe community honored fallen public safety workers, including fallen firefighters, EMS, Sheriff and other brave citizens. The wall, located at Happy Homestead Cemetery in South Lake Tahoe, will be a permanent reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made for the safety and freedom of our country.

I am pictured here in front of the wall with El Dorado County Undersheriff Randy Peschon and South Lake Tahoe's Chief of Police Brian Uhler.

Working for you in Sacramento

I also attend the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Legislative Conference in Sacramento recently and visited with our Representative to the Legislature, Frank Bigelow. El Dorado County CAO, Don Ashton, came along with me to visit with the Assemblyman and explain the specific needs of our county.

MY GOALS:

In the year ahead, your El Dorado County Board of Supervisors will be focusing on strategic planning for capital improvements, investing in communities and balancing the budget, while improving roads and county services.

It’s been a busy 2017 already and there are many things I’d like to accomplish. 

My goals for 2017 are simple:

• Maintain an environment of respectful conversation and positive change.
• Protect Tahoe’s fair share funding.
• Continue to strengthen Tahoe’s voice in County affairs.
• Bring forward housing options that are affordable to our residents.
• Reduce traffic congestion on local roads and in neighborhoods. 
•  Improve recreation access and opportunities. 
• Protect and expand services for our most vulnerable population, including children, families, veterans and seniors.
