Enlightening and engaging conversation with Lee Tannanbaum, President of the El Dorado County Tax Payer's Association will answer some of the questions on how a 1.3 Billion Dollar Budget, just still gives us a shortfall. Are there solutions that would not cost us vital services and benefits to the taxpayers without raising taxes? President Tannanbaum seems to think so. What do you think?

In a Constitutional Republic, the citizen voters are the stake holders in our Governmental system, which includes electing a Board of Supervisor for each District 1-5, the Sheriff, DA, County Auditor and Recorder, in addition to the many departments, CAO and County Council they appoint and employ to serve us. Every week the Board of Supervisors is given the task to make a multitude of decisions that effect all of our lives, yet citizen engagement is at an all time low. We hope this series will empower you to be informed, speak out and reach out. It is never too late to have a Day 1 of citizen engagement.
