BEAG Community Survey 210 25 We need non communist candidates to run. 6/19/202111:20 AM 26 we should require voter ID 6/19/20219:48 AM 27 No one is accounted for there actions,the countymake decision that no one agrees with being 6/19/20219:36 AM nice but throw them all out they dont speak for ME 28 Send me moresurvays if you have any. Thank you 6/19/20219:18 AM 29 More publicity needs to occur for this post. 6/19/20217:38 AM 30 A conservative voice on bocc 6/19/20216:51 AM 31 Instead of aspring to divide the county into rednecks versus the rich whities down south, why 6/18/20218:33 PM don't you try having disticts for some of the voices that are actually missing. Let's have some seats dedicated to renters, students, and young people-then you might start actually representing their interests instead of just the wealthy homeowners who control the local political process and actively push everyone who's not a boomer or a helicopter mom out of the conversation. 32 Geographic diversity is among the shittiest kinds of diversity you could be aspiring to. Try 6/18/20218:27 PM harder 33 Question#5 was odd. I would have liked an answer that reflected N/A. 6/18/20212:54 PM 34 1 think the current system ensures an all Democratic Party commission. Not everyone in the 6/18/202111:39 AM county is a far left democrat. Just like you didn't like Trump. I don't like being taxed and force fed every progressive policy. Moderation is desperately needed i this county. 35 Only American Citizens should be able to vote in any US Elections 6/18/202110:38 AM 36 We need equitable representation of rural areas of Orange County. We do not currently have 6/17/20212:02 PM anyone representing the conservative voice or the citizens of our rural county. 37 1 appreciate the county assessing ways to ensure all constituents have representation on the 6/17/20211:58 PM BOC, rather than the current system that effectively means CH/Carrboro elects our commissioners 38 1 just think we need to empower/involve citizens at the lowest level possible. Having a local 6/16/20214:47 PM representative seems like a good way to facilitate that. 39 NO 6/16/202110:48 AM 40 yes, not sure of question nimber 8. its not clear as to what is being asked and not sure if i 6/15/20219:44 PM answered what i would like to see. I think its greatly unfair that all of Orange county gets to vote for the District 2 person running in the general election. as we all knwo Orange county is 80+% democrat in southern Orange therefore whoever wins the dem. primary is a lock to win the general election. So any other party beside a dem has no chance of winning the general election the way it si now. totally unfair. most other counties or cities have distict only voting 41 We need adequate representation for county residents as well as Chapel Hill and Carrboro city. 6/15/20219:22 PM The needs/wants are often different and I feel like county residents aren't adequately represented. 42 BOCC do not listen or comment to people who speak at the meetings... 6/15/20217:28 PM 43 For qiestion 8/9, would prefer multi-member where one seat open to all voters and one seat in- 6/15/20213:57 PM district only, otherwise all at-large. 44 Not enough diverse voices of different thought on the County Commissioners 6/15/20213:11 PM 45 Would only support"only those who live in the district"for no. 9 if there were also at least 2 at- 6/15/20212:09 PM large members. 46 As a taxpayer in the City of Mebane as well as Orange County, I often feel as if I am in "no 6/15/202112:59 PM man's land" when it comes to representation. I sometimes feel we are ignored by the city as well as the county officials. Our area is growing very rapidly, so maybe that will change in the future. I always participate in elections and will continue to, but it would be nice to feel as if we had a bit more representation here.o man's land"when it comes to representation. It sometimes feels as if we are forgotten by the city as well as the county commissioners. 2 /6
