Releasing the Local Jobs Agenda

Some say there are three big issues this election year, in national state and local elections alike: 1) Jobs 2) Jobs and 3) Jobs.

That's not hard to understand. You don't have to look farther than page after page of foreclosure notices in the local paper to know that many working people are in the hardest crunch of their lives. We can design all the nifty government programs we want, but the hard reality won't change without developing stable, quality jobs.

How can county government help that happen? A couple of months ago we started a research project to find out. The result is our Local Jobs Agenda, which we think is unlike any report ever offered before in a Jackson County Commissioner race. It's not THE ANSWER...we don't think that exists. But it puts forward sound actionable ideas, and can stimulate more from others who are serious about putting Rogue Valley people back to work. That's the whole idea.

Take a look and tell us what you think.
