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. Further information can be found at www. lwvmasoncounty.org.
