Office of Senator JamesDitomosso - Reponse to the State of the County

This is not removing any part of your right to representation. You have fair representation as anyone else does.

The head of the county has been well aware of these issues and nothing has been changed.

That’s State Police. This is politics.

But does removing their powers not remove the county council and their ability to make changes based on my needs and wants?

So IRL a state government would remove an entire county(ies) and/or city(ies) government(s) completely?

Instead of speaking to them about how they may improve

But changes and whatnot can still be made based off of your needs and wants without the county.

No, because municipal governments are usually able to hold together very well. I’ve spoken to your DA about this.

So you’re saying my town council isn’t need irl? We got the state legislature which each senator/representative has ton of people in the congressional district to represent?

State government is responsible for making state-wide stuff. Your state doesn’t make laws select to one municipality.

That’s a much different situation because the US federal government is in charge of hundreds of millions of people, yet we’re in charge of maybe 1000.

Size of representation shouldn’t matter.

It does, because you’re insinuating that without a county government, you won’t get fair representation, and you used the US government as an analogy, yet there is a big difference in the Firestone government and the US government.

You can get fair representation without the county government.

I dont understand what you mean. Are you saying the city governments are more stable than us? I thought you stated that Redwood removed their city council… We don’t see the county government doing that. That would be considered quite unstable.

Not that’s not at what I was stating whatsoever.

You said that in real life state governments don’t get rid of their municipal government, and I said that that’s because usually their municipals are able to function well.

Actually I didn’t refer to the US government. Only states still.

I don’t believe I can achieve the same type of representation with solely the state providing my needs. Issues revolving the county should be changed by the county. State should only change state wide things. Two types of representation that shouldn’t be combined.

Oh, how is the county government, and it’s consequent municipalities not functioning well? We seem pretty active, with exception to a few of our municipal counterparts, however, we have taken notice of that, as addressed in the county address, and are taking action to resolve such inactivity.

The county is the one who needs resources from the State. Why should the state even bother wasting its resources on a government who constantly demands for power instead of fixing its horrid legislative system? Communication should be something that the county should prioritize instead of responding to opposition.

Going off of his activity standards it’s like he wants you to get in a marked car, pull people over, and ask them for their needs.

I disagree strongly. If you’ve yet to DM a congressman/woman, you’d see that we give the same representation to you as we do anyone else.
