Letter to President about lake level is waste of time

Editor,
I am not sure how ignorant some of our county commissioners really believe we are, or perhaps our failure to bring in new leadership over the years gives them permission to continue with non-productive activities that fail to improve our lives here.
The most current blatant example comes from the re-elected commissioner who a few years ago was going to solve financial problems with the promise to alter how tribal land ownership and taxing when passing on to the next generation could increase our wealth.
And while I won’t go into the apparent lack of preparation even knowing for years that by an agreement the dam would be turned over to the tribe, I am pretty sure I am not the only one who thinks sending a letter to President Biden about our lake level being held constant at this time is as close to p......in the wind as I can imagine.
I have been disappointed enough in the past by many meaningless actions taken that pass as doing something constructive and of true importance to improve our community so I do know that applies to writing this letter.
It will have the same effect (a the waste of time) as the effort made by our employees to create and ship it off to President Biden on the commissioners behalf.
For me also, while Trump promised us a border wall the last time he ran for, was elected and held office with a Republican majority and he again makes the same promise this time around, I can only recall and heed the good advice....fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
