Can we reform the way we elect the county Board of Supervisors? Tonight

John, I recently found out that we are now the one and only county of California’s 58 counties that requires supervisor candidates to run countywide as opposed to by district. Tehama County (which has 59,000 residents spread over 2,000 square miles) used to elect supervisors countywide, but in November 2008 the voters approved a county charter change providing for supervisors to be elected by district.
