5. What political issues will the commissioners need to address? What recommendations can director brown give the commissioners relative to relationships with community partners and the community polity?

Explanation / Answer

There was recent strong downturn in the economy and that had negative consequence. The downturn had prompted the voters to reject the renewal levy. There was a spate of layoffs from the local business and at the same time there were other issues of unemployment and depressed local housing market. These issues became priorities in the mind of the voters and casted doubt in the minds of the people over their willingness to commit to five years of extra payment to the government.
