Mason County League of
The League of Women Voters of Mason
County (LWVMC) is scheduled to sponsor
a meeting at 11:30 a.m.. on Tuesday, at the
Johnson Library on Shelton Olympic Col-
lege Campus. The business meeting will
precede the program which will start at
noon. The program will be the result of the
two study groups the LWVMC have been
working on this past year.
The league has been a part of a Nation-
al Study of Privatization conducted by the
LWVUS. The Privatization Study Group
will report their findings based on research,
analysis of the facts, consensus of proposed
questions and issues and a league position.
The study will address the debate of shift-
ing activities or functions from government
services and assets to the private sector.
With the loss of federal and state dollars for
local infrastructure, various types of part-
nerships with the private sector have been
seen as a creative way to generate priwte
monies to build necessary infrastructure
in an increasingly tax-resistant environ-
ment. With a strong movement to change
the structure and role of government, citi-
zens must assess the impacts of different
policies on society and local communities.
The debate surrounds the issues of the role
of government regarding the well-being of
its citizens: the management of natural re-
sources: the use of tax dollars to support ed-
ucation, libraries, roads and infrastructure:
and the moral and ethical hazards that can
erupt when subjected to a profit mandate.
As citizens we need to be aware of the com-
plexities ofprivatization to be able to decide
which policies will maintain healthy, pros-
perous and livable communities.
The second group to present has been
Women Voters to meet
participating in a state LWVWA study of
Washington state conservation districts.
The local league conducted research of the
Mason Conservation District and will be
.presenting their findings, consensus, and
position on the process of electing MCD
supervisors, the structure of MCD and the
funding of MCD. This information will be
compiled with other league conservation
district studies to develop a LWVWA state
report and position.
The conservation districts were devel-
oped to assist and guide local citizens in the
stewardship, conservation and protection of
soil, water and related natural resources on
private lands. The Washington State Con-
servation Commission (WSCC) has been in
existence for over 70 years. The WSCC and
the 47 conservation districts work with fed-
eral and state agencies to help people use
their natural resources wisely. It is hoped
that the information garnered from this
study will promote interest in and under-
standing of conservation districts in Wash-
ington state.
The League of Women Voters is a non-
partisan political organization encouraging
informed and active participation in gov-
ernment. It influences public, policy through
education and advocacy. It never supports
or opposes any political party or candidate.
The league is a volunteer, member-directed
organization of men and women dedicated
to informing citizens of issues that affect the
political process.
All members and guests interested in
participating in the League of Women Vot-
ers are encouraged to attend this meeting.
