EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. - In a move initiated by the Republican-based North State Conference, a letter has been sent by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors to Governor Newsom to ask for local control of the state s rules through the pandemic.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley gathered leaders from 16 Northern California counties at this Fall s Conference of North State Leaders. No Democrat leaders were invited. The conference was held to obtain a joint response to counter Governor Newsom s approach and out of it came a Healthy Communities Resolution.
One of those attendees was the El Dorado County representative, Sheriff John D Agostini. Former El Dorado County Supervisor Chair Brian Veerkamp broke board protocol by invoking Emergency Powers to require the county to pay for sending the Sheriff to the political “conference” on October 29 in Red Bluff.
