Recent community discussions on "social media" have proved difficult to follow and organize issues, facts and other information and the community voice is often buried in comments and posts from days or even months ago. ?Issues aren't well defined resulting in commenters simply throwing darts at each other instead of coming up with solutions.

Vail-Rincon Valley Coalition on groups_io provides a platform where topics can be sorted out and followed. Important information and links will be available in easy to access files and archives from earlier discussions are searchable. Participating can be done via email or by reading and replying to topics online (which lets you read and follow the entire thread in one place). ?

While Nextdoor and Facebook can be terrific for finding lost dogs or selling stuff, they're not always the best place to follow serious discussion. You won't be subjected to ads here and will be able to follow the topics. If you have suggestions, please let us know — starting a new discussion group is always a challenge but we hope this will be a place where everyone feel free to engage.

Ik've been watching today's Pima County BOS meeting. ?A commenter asked how they might better understand how all of it works because they find the "agenda" confusing. I have to agree - the meeting agendas can be confusing – because County governance is complex. ?It takes time to delve into the agendas, addendums and summaries which are posted the day before the BOS meetings. ?
A group such as this can help bring items important to our community to our attention and help explain what goes on "behind the scenes" before something makes it to the BOS for approval or rejection.?
The item might be as easy to understand as a permit for a church festival, a proclamation for a special day or as consequential as a rezoning or establishing a new tax. ?If you know of an upcoming issue, post about it here then share the information on your social media accounts so that area residents can be informed.?
