In a recent meeting of the Board of Supervisors, significant discussions centered around foreign policy concerns related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. A speaker highlighted the distress expressed by community members, particularly youth, regarding the graphic images emerging from the region, emphasizing the need for a broader understanding of the macro factors at play rather than focusing solely on individual incidents.

The board proceeded to approve a resolution, with a motion for adoption made by Supervisor Rice and seconded by Supervisor Lukin. The resolution received unanimous support from the board members present.

Public comments followed, with residents voicing their frustrations over the board's reluctance to support a ceasefire resolution in Gaza. David Glick, a local resident, criticized the board for ignoring calls from constituents and referenced recent rulings from the World Court regarding Israel's actions in Gaza, labeling them as potentially genocidal. He accused local political figures of being influenced by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and urged the board to align with international law and human rights.

Another speaker, Frank Dillard, raised concerns about the integrity of local voter rolls, pointing out that numerous inactive voters were still receiving ballots. He warned that this could lead to illegitimate votes being counted, urging the board to take action to rectify the situation and ensure compliance with federal election laws.

The meeting underscored the community's growing demand for accountability in both foreign policy and local electoral processes, reflecting a broader call for transparency and adherence to human rights standards.
