Among possible projects he'd like to see pursued by the county commission, the commissioner lists weather modification. 'Tm enthusiastic with the prospects of a weather modification program and believe we should support it." he said. "I believe there's much to be accomplished in the field of solid waste," he adds.

Regarding local land use, Nielsen notes: "I think if we can keep it on the conservative side for the county it would be a good thing." Asked If he approves of the county's master plan and the ordinances which enforce It, Nielsen said: "No, I think we should be a little bit more county wise and they're leaning toward the state deal."

"I think possibly it would, be better communication with people of the county," Scott said when asked his top priority if elected. "We just haven't had the communication we should have. ..there's been too many things done, more or less, behind closed doors." Scott cited the workings of the county Planning Commission as an example. "The Commission met planning for two full years. .and there weren't five percent of the people in the county who knew they were meeting."
