Right now, the pay for each voters approve the change, the county would also have to redesign the districts each supervisor would represent, reducing them from 5 to 3. Supervisor amy johnson opposes the change. When you have five supervisors, um you have people representing people in all those small towns of linn county. Ya knowcentral city, palo, prairieburg. And i think people in those towns would really suffer if they didnt have their voices heard through a representative.
