It's abundantly clear that the one size fits all solutions coming out of Concord do not work well for Coos county. This was even more clear during the Senate public hearing where the committee members were simply focusing on the cost of housing and the only person that gave them an answer was from Berlin which has a enormously depressed housing cost. Coos county is the largest county in the state with the fewest representatives. We want our input to be considered on things which affect the county.
