The Camden County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on December 12, 2024, where significant discussions focused on community concerns and ongoing negotiations regarding labor contracts.

During the meeting, a member of the public, Ms. Johnson, raised several issues that she felt were critical to the community. However, the board clarified that these concerns fell outside their jurisdiction and were instead matters for the federal government. They noted that many of the issues mentioned were part of pending legislation in Congress, which has not progressed in the last two years. The board encouraged residents to contact their senators and congressional representatives to advocate for the advancement of this legislation.

The board expressed appreciation for the respectful and insightful presentations made by community members. They acknowledged the importance of the issues raised and committed to discussing them further in private negotiations. The commissioners emphasized their respect for the hard work of community members and reiterated their commitment to ensuring fair contracts and reasonable wages for workers.

Commissioner Nash echoed the sentiments of the board, expressing gratitude for the presentations and the concerns shared. The meeting concluded with a commitment from the board to continue engaging with the community on these important matters.
