All The Pieces
The candidates for Humboldt County Supervisor on jobs, land use, law enforcement and trails
(May 22, 2008) FIRST DISTRICT
Jimmy Smith
What do you do for a living?
I retired from commercial fishing and am a full-time supervisor.
Why are you running for Supervisor?
To continue my work as a regional (seven-county) leader and secure badly needed water and wastewater systems and watershed funding, and to hopefully expand the region’s scope to access transportation bond funding. To continue being a leader in the battle against methamphetamine, to represent people equally and with respect, to enhance our economy, to help get us through the most difficult budget in recent history, to use my background in natural resources to benefit the people I work for. Most importantly, this is my home and these are the most wonderful, caring people in the world!
Which General Plan option do you prefer? Why?
These options are still being refined. The public is more engaged than ever and their input is essential. I have more workshops planned and want to listen carefully.
