The Walla Walla County Board of Commissioners have developed an informal, brief, three question, survey that they plan to utilize as a means of gathering information from county citizens to help guide future discussions. The survey responses are for internal, informational use only, and will be destroyed with no record maintained other than the response data. Citizens have requested an opportunity for input regarding matters that might have an impact, financially or otherwise, resulting in this informal survey being developed to help obtain that information easily and at no cost to the county or those taking the survey.This survey concerns taxes, always an important topic to TEA Partiers. You will have to enter your name and address to participate. I expect that this is to prevent people from voting the Chicago Way ("Vote Early! Vote Often!").
The non-scientific survey is intended to serve as a non-binding, informational guide for the county commissioners, and is available electronically on the county’s website (www.co.walla-walla.wa.us). The survey will be on the website until close of business on Wednesday, May 25, 2011.
Utilization of such informational, non-binding surveys in the future to allow citizens a convenient means to have input may be an option considered by the county commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners has attempted to hold meetings in various areas of the county in past years, as a way to allow more access to those citizens who are unable to attend regular commission meeting, with only limited attendance. This survey mechanism is a trial to help citizens have input.
