El Dorado County (Sept 27, 2024) – At the September 24, 2024, Board of Supervisors meeting, a bold statement highlighted a simmering conflict between Supervisor John Hidahl and his colleagues. One of the supervisors addressed the board, confirming a critical point in the public’s inquiry—Supervisor Hidahl had indeed met with Native Directions, a move that has sparked concern and tension.
According to the statement, the meeting took place despite the supervisor’s explicit request for Hidahl to refrain from interfering in district matters without prior knowledge or consent. This was not an isolated incident, as it marked the second time in recent weeks that Hidahl’s actions had reportedly gone against County policies, resulting in a deeper divide among the board members.
The supervisor expressed strong disapproval, stating that these actions undermine the trust not only between board colleagues but also between the public and local government. Mistrust among supervisors can erode faith in the decisions made on behalf of the community, and it seems this internal conflict may have broader implications.
“I hope El Dorado Hills voters are paying attention because he showed me no remorse for his actions,”
– supervisor Lori Parlin concluded, issuing a call for voters to stay informed about Hidahl’s conduct.
This escalating tension shines a light on the importance of transparency and cooperation in government, especially as elections approach. The voters of El Dorado Hills are urged to consider the ongoing developments carefully.
