I applaud what you have done and what you are continuing to do. I think that the streetlight proposal is something that is essential. The introduction of "Green" systems is another viable option for all parties concerned. From the Supervisors standpoint, it may be an effective platform to ensure that hot button issues such as global warming are being made within their district (for voting purposes). To the homeowner it provides for the safety of their area. It may be of benefit to the homeowners to check on grant monies available from their respective Reprentatives or those occupying Congressional seats, during this time of election.

I have a suggestion for incorporation into your page:

http://www.freecycle.org/group/US/California/Desert%20Hot%20Springs

The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,603 groups with 5,807,258 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and thus keeping good stuff out of landfills.

Clutter causes nothing but grief to those who are buried by it and others that are suffering from the financial downturn could benefit from the receipt of something that they couldn't afford (dining tables, chairs, and couches). A turn around a neighborhood like yours can reveal old furniture, shelving, and other items that could be used in someone's home. It is never easy to throw something away, but it is quite another thing to give.

Thanks for your time!!
