El Dorado County Supervisor District V
General Election – November 8 2022

Community residents still live on county roads that have not been adequately cleared from the December storms. There will be more storms.  We need to be better prepared with better equipment, staffing and training. 

Vacation Rental (VHR) regulations need to be strictly enforced and reviewed regularly.  Taxes collected from VHR’s need to be allocated to a strong and effective enforcement program managed by a local enforcement officer/department with strong support from the Sheriff’s office.

Our local economy is built on tourism.  What attracts us to live and invest in our community also attracts our visitors:  natural beauty of our forests, rivers, and alpine lakes.  Striking a balance between our quality of life as residents and the quality of the experience of our visiting population is key.

Affordable housing options are not a priority of the county but they should be.  The strains on our residents today are real:  significant rise in the cost of living, increased cost of utilities, lack of affordable housing, cost, if available, of fire insurance.

Vehicle congestion all around the basin is problematic. New micro transit, bike and pedestrian trails, walkable-bikeable town centers, and water borne transportation are all in the works to attempt to address traffic congestion.

Forest management is critical to protecting our communities from fires.  Defensible space is how we help as residents.  The USFS manages over 75% of the land within the Tahoe Basin and they will need to ramp up their forest thinning efforts.

I am supporting Brooke Laine for District 5 supervisor for El Dorado County. Very rarely do policymakers in positions of influence reach out to learn more, request real facts and data or ask what they can do to help. Brooke Laine did exactly that and it surprised me.

Yes, I’m voting for Brooke Laine for supervisor — and for good reasons.

I met Brooke over 20 years ago when I delivered an audit report to the Clean Tahoe board. Brooke asked good questions, obviously understood the financial statements and listened to my recommendations.

I support Brooke Laine for District V Supervisor because she has proven to be a voice of reason on the tough issues. She has shown amazing tenacity and a willingness to dig in and do her homework. She not only has the temperament to navigate the tough issues she has the professional experience needed when dealing with different points of view.

Why am I voting for Brooke Laine?

Brooke is familiar with the district and its residents, having served for years on local boards and foundations, such as the Tahoe Conservancy, Waste Management, Ambulance JPA, and the Education Foundation, as well as belonging to Soroptimists.

As an observer in this election year, when El Dorado County issues are so important, I am noticing how important collaboration and consensus efforts will be in the long run.

We are writing in support of Brooke Laine for El Dorado County District V Supervisor.  Brooke is a lifelong resident of El Dorado County, leaving only long enough to attend and graduate with a major in Economics from U. C. Santa Cruz.  Because she comes from a family that believes in service to the community, she returned to Lake Tahoe and became involved first in the family business, then in the banking industry. This was followed by terms on the City Council and as Mayor.
