Dear Santa, I only want one thing this year. Please, please, please! Bring the good people of Kern County some gumption. It is my most fervent Christmas wish to see more people involved in deciding how their community will grow, where it should spend its money, how best to educate its children, and so on. Civics is not just a class to get through in high school. When you’re an American, lucky enough to live in a country where government actions are legally required to be conducted in the open, records are available to anyone and regular citizens can voice whatever opinion they want, it’s downright criminal to sit silently by. I’ve often heard from people that they would like to get their foot in the door of community life but 1) nothing ever changes, so why try? 2) they’re overwhelmed by the size and number of our problems and 3) they don’t know HOW to get involved. I’ll try and address the issues listed above and, hopefully, Santa will...
