Most people think Agenda 21 is some made up "conspiracy theory" without really knowing what it is. Agenda 21 is a non-binding action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development.[1] It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. One major objective of the Agenda 21 initiative is that every local government should draw its own local Agenda 21. Its aim initially was to achieve global sustainable development by 2000, with the "21" in Agenda 21 referring to the original target of the 21st century. Join the conversation with Activist and long standing community member, Sue Taylor, to understand why we must be diligent to ensure we don't lose what we love about this County 

In a recent Facebook Poll to El Dorado County residents and rate payers,  of the recently released EID bi-monthly bills, 100% of those responding had increases anywhere from 10%-50% with many claiming equal to less usages than prior months. Citizens want to know WHY and HOW. Join in the discussion with former Grand Jury Forman, Gary Kinghorn, on a April 2025 Grand Jury investigation and report which gives a little insight to problems and behind rate payers knowledge increase approvals of 12% per year for FIVE YEARS. 

Enlightening and engaging conversation with Lee Tannanbaum, President of the El Dorado County Tax Payer's Association will answer some of the questions on how a 1.3 Billion Dollar Budget, just still gives us a shortfall. Are there solutions that would not cost us vital services and benefits to the taxpayers without raising taxes? President Tannanbaum seems to think so. What do you think? Note this conversation is based on the opinions of the host and guests and does not reflect fully the view points of Patriots of El Dorado County or its affiliates and members.

In a Constitutional Republic, the citizen voters are the stake holders in our Governmental system, which includes electing a Board of Supervisor for each District 1-5, the Sheriff, DA, County Auditor and Recorder,  in addition to the many departments, CAO and County Council they appoint and employ to serve us. Every week the Board of Supervisors is given the task to make a multitude of decisions that effect all of our lives, yet citizen engagement is at an all time low. We hope this series will empower you to be informed, speak out and reach out. It is never too late to have a Day 1 of citizen engagement.

Serving the citizens of El Dorado County along with Tahoe and Placerville as well as several other counties in Northern California since 2022 as our elected Assemblyman Joe has been committed to serving his citizens with integrity, compassion but most importantly a conservative conscience and platform. He's been a busy guy especially fighting for and sponsoring  bills and regulations on Fentanyl, Sex Offenders, County Rights, Domestic Violence and Gun Safety to name a few. 

It has been brought forward by a non-disclosed developer, that the area of Rescue ( yes folks, a few miles from El Dorado Hills) off Deer Valley has been slated to house TWO large mental health and addiction services commercial center, along with a third location in Shingle Springs for "Pro-Natal" Services to people qualified and on California Medi-Cal system and Native Program services. This extremely rural area with little infrastructure, other major services of hospital and law enforcement area is not equipped to sustain a major shift in the trajectory of this area. 

In the Sheetz v. El Dorado County case, the Supreme Court will determine the constitutionality of permit fees, especially impact fees. Sheetz who was applying to build a modest manufactured home, was hit with 23400.00 in Impact Fees by the El Dorado County Building Fees for Road Impacts.  This practice of fees collected by the counties all over the country, have been misappropriated and often re-allocated to other projects, costs and impacts not always relating to the parcel (s) being fined. 

We are so excited to bring our guest, County Elected Auditor and Controller, Joe Harn. If you aren't familiar with what that means, this is the Episode for you. If you are concerned about issues of being Fiscally Responsible, and how that happens, and what goes wrong when it doesn't, this is the Episode for you.
