The January 27 San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting is expected to be long and complicated. The most intense item on the agenda, the Sheriff’s TRUTH Forum, is scheduled to be presented after lunch. The rest of the agenda is filled with important issues as well, so anybody planning to attend will have a lot to take in.
We do hope that supporters of Sheriff Parkinson will be there to balance out what is expected to be a very large contingency of ICE protesters. We also hope that the proceedings remain peaceful and respectful.
It’s worth noting that due to holidays and other schedule complications, the following two Board of Supervisors meetings are set for February 3 and 10, meaning that we are treated with three meetings in a row. |

The most important item on our list, though, is you. Tickets will go on sale soon, and we hope that you will get yours early. |
Important Dates
The next Board of Supervisors meeting takes place on Tuesday, January 27. As a reminder, this will be a long and intense meeting. Two big items on the agenda are the TRUTH Forum presented by the Sheriff and the SLOCOG presentation on the Sales Tax Proposal.
We expect a long and emotional public comment period packed full of ICE protesters. It would be great to see some balance of speakers with supporters of the Sheriff there to convey their confidence in the department.
Also, a forum on Fraud prevention is being put on by the District Attorney’s office on January 30, also in the Board of Supervisors chambers. We hope to see you at both important events. |
