What do you consider the most important aspects of local infrastructure and how should federal funding be allocated?

Federal funding for infrastructure should primarily go to state and local governments. We know where and how the money should be best spent. Every community faces it's own unique challenges and roadblocks to growth, and people nearer to the choke points are better equipped to understand those problems.

How can the county board and individual supervisors take advantage of new avenues of communication with the community?

It's very easy nowadays to communicate with the community. Whether it be through email, phone, or in person. It's one of the biggest advantages of having a local elected official, they're in your community experiencing the same things.
