County Watch

A PROJECT OF NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM

Douglas County Board Commissioners

Metropolitan area citizens face concerns about public safety, public works infrastructure maintenance, privatization of services, consolidation, merging and streamlining of county government, taxes, and unnecessary spending on services traditionally outside the scope of county responsibility.  We encourage you to participate in our NTF County Watch Project, to call, fax, email, or write a letter to your county commissioners to urge them to vote fiscally conservative and implement ideas to give the citizens more efficient services under a leaner budget.  Project participants will receive periodic newsletters, email bulletins, and research outlines and materials to act as watchdogs.
