As 2020 begins, Wasco County Commissioner Kathy Schwartz hopes the County can push out more information to the general public. Schwartz is working with a team of county employees to find ways to do that, saying social media is one outlet available but that can be complex for a government agency. She also says other governments have done it, and so can they. Schwartz says they can start small with things like pushing out meeting agendas and being welcoming to those who come in for information. She adds public communication is part of the County’s strategic plan.
