Lafayette Native The New Commissioner

Cindy Domenico, the Boulder County Assessor, will resign from that post to accept her nomination for County Commissioner from the County Democrats to replace Tom Mayer, who passed away June 22.

On July 10 she will have her first meeting and a big agenda item is the brilliant idea of plucking an arbitrary size out of the air and declaring all but those with enough money to buy their way out of the rule must limit home sizes to this new standard. I can't wait to hear her comments, as they may help bring the discussion back towards energy efficiency and away from arbitrary land use policies the current Commissioners have otherwise been good at avoiding.

Could some one please tell me why housing size suddenly became the predominant issue in county commissioner slection?

Or was it just the media event of the day?

Aren't there a lot more pressing challenges in Boulder County than this?

Dan, I'd hope she would add some reason to this discussion, as well.

But, her comments quoted in the DC, gushing about her respect for the other 2 Commissioners, would indicate she'll follow their lead and not rock the boat. I'd guess they vetted this in the selection process as well.

I'm going to give her time to get her feet under her. Cindy Domenico has a lot of experience in the county, and not just political. She may surprise everyone with independent thinking and leadership capabilities.
