Mike,
Not having any idea of what you conceive as a big
problem, or if you are someone that thinks buildings should
be lined with tin foil to keep out space aliens or worse yet
the CIA from reading your thoughts, I will err on the side
of caution and give you the directions that I would
take.
Write out the entire problem and then rewrite over and
over again until you have removed all of the extra verbiage
that doesn't need to be there.
After doing this write a summary of what you have written
keeping it to one double spaced page or less putting the
most emphasis on the first paragraph. Send this summary to
your local city council person and also to the county
supervisor that represents your district. Make your cover
letter only one paragraph.
If you get no response to your letters then the next step
would be to go to a city council meeting and/or a county
board of supervisors meeting and address the problem during
the open forum. It would be a good idea to go to a couple of
meetings first to get a feel for how they handle their open
forums.
I would also contact your local newspaper and see if they
would be interested in doing a story on you and your
problem. If the problem has enough general interest you
could also contact the local television stations.
This is best done in written form as you are less likely
to run into an intern that my not be the brightest bulb on
the tree.
If the above doesn't get the results that you are looking
for, then I would contact the local bar association and ask
for a list of public interest law firms.
If all of this seems like a lot of work, it is. So you
might also consider doing some volunteer work or at the very
least get a lot of tin foil.
Good luck and let me know what happens.
P.S. Keep a sense of humor-you'll need it.
Tim
