District Three Candidates for the Board of Supervisors Offer Solutions to County Problems in Laytonville Forum
Forum was held April 29 in Harwood hall
Candidates for the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors squared April 29 in Laytonville. Eric Hart, Clay Romero, and Buffey Wright-Bourassa discussed Mendocino County’s post-cannabis economic slump, infrastructure gaps, and rising property tax pressures. The three pointed to their varied backgrounds—tribal leadership and county government, as well as engineering and the private sector—as they pitched solutions. Key themes included fixing slow permitting systems, stabilizing funding for emergency medical services, and exploring new tools, including AI, to improve county operations. Russell Green did not participate.
